Sarasota .NET Developer Group April 2008 Presentations
Introduction to the ASP.NET MVC Framework
David Hayden will be presenting Introduction to the ASP.NET MVC Framework at the Sarasota .NET Developer Group in Sarasota, Florida on Thursday, April 10, 2008. Create websites using the new ASP.NET MVC Framework from Microsoft. In this presentation we will discuss how the ASP.NET MVC Framework is different from ASP.NET Webforms as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each. We will create routes, views, controllers, and controller factories as well as discuss different ways to communicate between views and controllers. We will also leverage various IoC Tools, like Castle Windsor and Unity, to inject dependencies into controllers as well as use AJAX with the ASP.NET MVC Framework.
Data Access Tips and Techniques
David Hayden will be presenting Data Access Tips and Techniques at the Sarasota .NET Developer Group in Sarasota, Florida on Thursday, April 10, 2008. Learn and explore the variety of ways you can access data using ADO.NET, the Data Access Application Block, LINQ To SQL, ADO.NET Entity Framework, ADO.NET Data Services, and the ASP.NET 3.5 Dynamic Data Framework. In this session we will walk-thru and build several examples for each technique as well as discuss tips, strengths, and weaknesses.

IASA Tampa Chapter
Introduction to Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) - Feb 28, 2008
Write less code and create more maintainable applications by leveraging AOP to handle logging, caching, validation, security, and other cross-cutting concerns. In this presentation we will explore AOP functionality built into numerous tools and frameworks such as Castle Windsor, SpringFramework.NET, Enterprise Library's Policy Injection Application Block, and PostSharp so you can better understand its benefits and how to use it in your own applications. If available by the time of the meeting, I will also show off the Unity Dependency Injection Container in Enterprise Library 4.0 and how to incorporate AOP with it.
