CMAP Main Meeting - ASP.NET MVC Framework - Tuesday, October 7th, 6:30pm

csteen — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:45:04 GMT

When: Tuesday, October 7th, 6:30pm

Where: HCC Business Training Center, 6751 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia, MD 21046

Topic: ASP.NET MVC Framework

This session will introduce attendees to the new ASP.NET MVC framework while building a real-world application. "Separation of concerns" will be discussed as the Model, View, and Controller concepts will be explained. The MVC framework enables unit testing of the presentation layer which will be emphasized throughout. The presentation will start with an application that follows the traditional post-back model and, over the course of the presentation, convert this application to the MVC framework. This will give attendees a clear "before and after" view that will highlight several aspects of the framework.

Presenter: Steve Michelotti, MCSD, MCPD, MCT

Steve Michelotti, MSCD, MCPD, MCT is the Chief Technologist at e.magination in Baltimore. He has currently consulting at Advertising.com/AOL as the Tech Lead for one of the highest volume .NET applications in the world.
