MVC3 Talk
Tonight, I will be talking about MVC3 to bugdotnet which is Birmingham's .NET User Group.
Topic: ASP.NET MVC 3
ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for building scalable, standards-based web applications using well-established design patterns and the power of ASP.NET and the .NET Framework. The latest version includes great new features: razor view engine, expanded validation, and built in support for dependency injection.
As part of my preparation for the talk, I built a feedback site using many of the new features in MVC3. The feedback site is live and is is currently hosted on my backup server at discountasp. I've posted the source code on github.
The reason for this feedback site was two-fold. I not only wanted to use newer MVC3 features, but I wanted to solicit feedback for my talk. You see, I have already given the MVC3 talk to GGMUG, which is the Gwinnett, Georgia, Microsoft User Group. The presentation was great. The audience was great. The feedback was great.
From this feedback, tonight I will approach the audience with a choice.
- Learn about what is new in MVC3 or
- Learn about MVC in general
Please attend if you'd like to have a say. The meeting is tonight at 6:30 pm at New Horizons located at:
