If you are used to using a central repo like SVN the Atlassian git tutorial is really helpful as they explain how each part differs from SVN.

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorial/git-basics

I had read a few tutorials about git without really getting the difference between it and SVN (besides being non-centralised), but that atlassian tutorial gave me the real "ah-ha" moments in seeing the differences.

I wonder if one of your Visual Studio gurus can help me:

I have a medium sized web app that I run in VS2013. It is a solution with several web projects in it. Lately debugging my app in IE11 has become painfully slow.

If I run it without debugging in any browser (including IE) it runs flawlessly, and debugging in a non-IE browser also runs without any problems. I can't figure out what is causing the slowdown.

Lately I have:

Updated VS to the recent release
Run profiler

Now I can't remember if I ran the profiler because of the slowdown or if the slowdown happened after I ran the profiler (I have the memory of a goldfish) but I have tried to remove any trace of the profiler from the solution.

Some other info:

Debugging other projects/solutions runs fine
My co-worker who works on the same project (using TFS) has no issues
When debugging in IE if I right-click inspect element it now just focuses the VS2013 window rather than opening IE dev tools.

Any ideas?

Are you running any plugins?

Good thinking - I disabled all my extensions but no luck.

I tried running the IE11 profiler and it is a bit interesting.

This is without debugging (this happens over about 3 seconds)

This is with debugging (this takes about 22 seconds)

All that "other" is what is taking so much time, no idea what it is.

I wonder if there is still some VS profiling code being executed somewhere.

What's the best way to interact with Excel using Visual Basic Studio 2010?

I've got a bunch of tables that I need to process, each with around 5000 rows and they've all got roughly the same column layout. I want to grab a couple of values from one row, check it against some other external text files, then put a value into a column at the end of that row. Then move onto the next row and do the same.

I've looked at LINQ to XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.net, and the Excel-interop. LINQ seems only good for reading (not writing) and ADO.net seems slow when opening the table.I've only really taken a quick look at this so far, so these first thoughts might be wrong.

Any input would be appreciated.

I have used the EPPlus library to create Excel files from my data:

The Excel files I have been creating are pretty simple but EPPlus has worked brilliantly. I haven't had a chance to use it for reading Excel files yet.

I haven't tried the Office libraries that crashdome suggested so can't compare them.

So I stumbled across http://channel9.msdn.com/ and watched a really good video about using AJAX and Javascript with MVC 4.

Which video did you watch? I wouldn't mind having a look.
