Next Saturday, March 22, 2008 is the Orlando Code Camp. I will be presenting two sessions:
Then on Thursday, April 10, 2008 I will be presenting two more sessions at the Sarasota .NET Developer Group:
Introduction to the ASP.NET MVC Framework
Create websites using the new ASP.NET MVC Framework from Microsoft. In this presentation we will discuss how the ASP.NET MVC Framework is different from ASP.NET Webforms as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each. We will create routes, views, controllers, and controller factories as well as discuss different ways to communicate between views and controllers. We will also leverage various IoC Tools, like Castle Windsor and Unity, to inject dependencies into controllers as well as use AJAX with the ASP.NET MVC Framework.
Data Access Tips and Techniques
Learn and explore the variety of ways you can access data using ADO.NET, the Data Access Application Block, LINQ To SQL, ADO.NET Entity Framework, ADO.NET Data Services, and the ASP.NET 3.5 Dynamic Data Framework. In this session we will walk-thru and build several examples for each technique as well as discuss tips, strengths, and weaknesses.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Orlando Code Camp and the April Sarasota .NET Developer Meeting!
