A full day seminar presented by Jeffrey Palermo. This workshop is being coordinated by Dr. Huimin Zhao, Associate Professor in Management Information, Lubar School of Business, UW-Milwaukee

Overview

With the new version of ASP.NET developers can easily leverage the Model-View-Controller pattern in ASP.NET applications. Pulling logic away from the UI and the views has been difficult for a long time. The Model-View-Presenter pattern helps a little bit, but the fact that the view has to delegate to the presenter makes the UI pattern difficult to work with.

This workshop is the opportunity to share the experience of Headspring Systems using the ASP.NET MVC framework on real-world systems. Headspring Systems has been using ASP.NET MVC since the original prototype and has presented on the topic at local conferences as well as Microsoft TechEd. Headspring employees are responsible for a book on ASP.NET MVC, as well as MvcContrib, CodeCampServer, and several community Solution Templates. While a lot of information is packed into the workshop, the workshop will be run in the Headspring Systems “boot camp” style by which participants move quickly and deeply through the topics. In the workshop we will work together as a simulated development team and extend an existing application using the techniques learned. Participants will work together and learn from each other as well as from the presenter.
