My small contribution to ASP .NET 5

I saw that the readme files for ASP NET 5 Home and ASP NET Data Project still said vNext so I made a pull request on github to change it to the announced official name of ASP.NET 5.

It turns out I needed (Contribution License Agreement) for Microsoft Open Technologies. It was pretty easy, I just had to talk to my supervisor and get permission and a sign off from them. They used docusign.com and a few emails later it was completed and confirmed. Here’s more information about contributing.

Here are the links to my pull requests:

https://github.com/aspnet/Home/pull/270#issuecomment-69848738

https://github.com/aspnet/DataProtection/pull/46#issuecomment-69848729

I can now say I’ve contributed to ASP.NET 5 (in a very small way). This is pretty cool that we can do that. Here’s my github account though there isn’t much in it.

Edit: I'm "internet famous" https://www.visualstudio.com/features/modern-web-tooling-vs look for the screenshot next to open source logankd/patch. That was me:-)

Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
