S.A. Developer.net Event - June 2008 - MVC (With Brad Abrams!)
That's right, the one and only Brad Abrams from Microsoft will be visiting us at the end of June and he'll be giving a talk on the upcoming Microsoft ASP.Net MVC framework.
Here's Microsoft blurb on the MVC framework:
ASP.NET MVC provides a framework that enables you to easily implement the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern for Web applications. This pattern lets you separate applications into loosely coupled, pluggable components for application design, processing logic, and display.
ASP.NET MVC is not a replacement for Webforms. It provides an alternative choice when designing a Web application. Using ASP.NET MVC offers the following advantages:
- It enables you to achieve and maintain a clear separation of concerns
- It facilitates test driven development (TDD)
- It provides more control over the URLs you publish in the application and over the HTML that is emitted by the application
Brad is a real .Net superstar, so don't miss this one out. Here is an extract for his official bio:
Brad Abrams was a founding member of both the Common Language Runtime, and .NET Framework teams at Microsoft Corporation where he is currently the Group Program Manager for the UI Framework and Services team .... Specific technologies owned by this team include ASP.NET, parts of Silverlight, and Windows Forms.
