March 2010 - Posts
Thank you all for attending my session “ASP.NET 4 – What’s in it for me?” on Developer Academy 4 yesterday, and I hope that you enjoyed it as much I did !
You can download the presentation and demo files from here :
(and it’ll also be available for download from here on the following days)
I was delighted to see that so many people today are interested in ASP.NET development and want to step up the technology curve.
For those of you who’s been there or for the ones that going to watch the recording I do recommend downloading VS2010 RC (and the RTM soon enough) and play with the different new features I mentioned as well as try to have a side project for porting existing web sites on to ASP.NET 4.
* For WDC members or those of you that are planning to join in, pay attention that the next meeting will not take place on 04/04/10 because of Passover, and I’ll publish details about the date and content soon.
Programming ASP.NET Applications that really works is not an easy task, and finally on the last version of ASP.NET 4 Microsoft did it, and many features that were
missing on previous versions made it to this platform.
There are a lot of new versions of many Technologies that made it through the phase of being released to manufacture, and I guess that in every new technology, the first question that come to mind is “It’s great that Microsoft are working hard, but… hmm… what’s in it for me?”, well.. on Developer Academy 4 I’m going to talk about it on my lecture :
“ASP.Net 4 – What’s in it for me?”, and I have to say that no matter if you are building a small or a large scale web application, there are really a lot of features that can take your project to the next level.
So what’s in the basket ?
- Visual Studio 2010 for Web Developers – Many improvements on the IDE side to let you write faster and manage your code better.
- ASP.NET 4 Core Services – control your cache and session better, and in generally get a better engine.
- ASP.NET 4 Web Application Development – better control on web controls, new controls, better on standards and much more…
- ASP.NET 4 Deployment – Web deployment was always a pain, and finally there are really big news on that field. better control on packaging and configuration and better connection with IIS 7.5
- Web it all up ! – I’m going to talk a bit about how all the terms like : Ajax, MVC, Dynamic Data, Web forms, Silverlight can fit in a project, what is the best place for each technology and a word about the future.

Hope to see all there,
You can download the slides of the great lecture of Udi Dahan on last Sunday at WDC (Web Developers Community) from here :
As usual, it was a pleasure to see you there, hope to see you again next month (I’ll have another post about it soon enough…)
Today at 17:00 Udi Dahan is going talk about Command-Query Responsibility Segregation, and he is going to show the simplicity of how to work with a pattern that simplifies all the work with distributed systems.
Udi Dahan is a well know international speaker, and his lectures are always very helpful, especially in the way of him taking a complex idea and giving a well cleared view of it by an example.
For those of you that missed the UG mail, or didn’t see the event on Microsoft site :

Hope to see you all there
