A busy upcoming month. Just finished presenting ASP.NET MVC Extensibility - Opinionated Frameworks at the Orlando Code Camp 2009. Started the Tampa ASP.NET MVC Developer Group and our first meeting, Introduction to the ASP.NET MVC Framework, will be on Thursday, April 16, 2009.
This is quickly followed by a presentation in Lakeland, Florida on Enterprise Library Tips & Techniques. I have already had a number of Lakeland Developers encouraging me to keep the presentation very introductory with a lot of examples built from scratch to show how to reference the proper Enterprise Library assemblies and add them to a new project. So, this is what we will do! The presentation assumes no knowledge of Enterprise Library and we will build a lot of example from scratch as well as show how to intergrate Enterprise Library in your ASP.NET Webforms and MVC Web Applications.
Here is the official abstract for the Enterprise Library Presentation:
Enterprise Library Tips & Techniques
Jumpstart your application development with Enterprise Library from Microsoft Patterns & Practices. This presentation will guide you through the productivity and maintainability benefits of using various application blocks in Enterprise Library in your ASP.NET Webforms and MVC Web applications for data access, logging, validation, exception handling, and other cross-cutting concerns. We will also look at the newest application block, Unity, and see how it can impact your use of other application blocks as well as offer additional benefits depending on your application needs.
You can find a lot of introductory tutorials on my personal blog at DavidHayden.com.
Check out the following categories on my blog. Don't pay much attention to the Enterprise Library versions as the tutorials pretty much apply on all versions of Enterprise Library ( even the upcoming Enterprise Library 5.0 ):
I think I may have copied many of them to my Resources Area on this website as well:
Hope to see you there!
