My Sela Dev-Days Experience
My Sela Dev-Days Experience
Today I finished my Sela Dev. Days experience. Sela Dev. Days is a conference which include 5 days, 15 top experts, 25 session, and a whole lot of attendees (around 600 people registered for this week). If you are not familiar with Sela Dev. Days you can go to the conference’s site. In the conference I had three tutorial days in three different subjects:
- ASP.NET MVC 3, EF Code First integration, and Razor: Oh My!
In this one day tutorial I co-operated with Sebastian Pederiva, a senior consultant in Sela. In the day we gave a crash dived into Microsoft Web Platform – including ASP.NET MVC 3, EF, Web Platform Installer, Razor view engine and more. At the beginning session I introduced Microsoft web platform and ASP.NET MVC. Then, I talked about building models and data access layers for MVC applications on top of Entity Framework and in particular with Code First. In the third session I talked about how to work with controllers and about the routing concept in ASP.NET. Sebastian talked about Razor and how to integrate AJAX into MVC applications using the jQuery library. - HTML 5
In this one day tutorial I talked about what to expect out of the coming HTML5 standards, the new HTML5 elements, how to migrate HTML4 applications to HTML5 (here I gave a case scenario and with the help of the attendees we migrated a blog web page to HTML5) and about some of the new HTML5 API such as Geolocation, Web Workers, Web Sockets, Canvas and more. - Entity Framework 4.1 and Code First
In this one day tutorial I co-operated with Ido Flatow, another senior architect in Sela. I delivered four sessions – introduction to ORMs and EF, querying and manipulating data using Entity Framework, Entity Framework internals and Code First. Ido gave a session about Entity Framework in distributed applications.
I want to thank all the attendees that joined me in the days I delivered.
