ASP.NET MVC in Action at the Aggileland .Net Users Group tomorrow

13 July 2009

Tomorrow, I’ll be traveling to College Station, TX to visit with the .Net Users Group from my alma mater. The group, started by Noah Coad, continues to be a part of the university experience for those students interested in .Net development.

Title: ASP.NET MVC in Action (derived from my book)

Abstract: With the new version of ASP.NET, developers can easily leverage the Model-View-Controller pattern inASP.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 session is a detailed overview of the ASP.NET MVC Framework. It is meant for developers already building systems with ASP.NET 3.5 SP1.

Wow! The response I heard from developers at your talk promoting the Asp.net MVC way of programming was positive. No doubt it will require some pain of changing from a datastore centered paradigm of object dependency -- but your clear (to a programmer) presentation of the advantages of using the MVC way was compelling.

I hope that 60 developers return from the lunch talk today full, not just of pizza, but also with conviction to BUY THAT BOOK and study a better approach to building web applications -- MVC!

As for me, because I'm a lead web app developer at the University, I'm responsible for encouraging techniques which promote application inter-interoperability and code reuse, and I'm very pleased to see Microsoft dotNet converging with the Ruby, Python, Java, and LAMP approaches to agree on MVC as best practice. We have more in common now than ever before!

May the adoption of MVC accelerate. And your book sales ramp too :) :). Thank you thank you thank you for coming.
