Presenter: Jeff Etter

This event took place on Tuesday, June 5, 2012.

Where:   Onsite at CODE Training Center (6605 Cypresswood

Dr. Suite 300, Spring, TX 77379) or remotely via GoToMeeting
When:    June 5th 2012 (Tuesday)
Desc:      An in-depth lecture style training to educate attendees about ASP.NET MVC

CODE Training and EPS Software will be holding an intensive 1-day lecture style boot-camp on ASP.NET MVC specifically designed for developers of business applications who wish to learn the latest Microsoft .NET technologies. Attendees of this class will learn how to use ASP.NET MVC and will have gained an understanding of ASP.NET MVC to a point where they can start working on ASP.NET MVC applications productively on their own. Attendees of this class will also be able to judge whether a scenario is appropriate for MVC and they will have a good understanding of how MVC will impact their future development efforts.

The training class will be held at our offices in Houston, Texas as well as online via GoToMeeting.  After the class, attendees will receive the PowerPoint slides, the code samples and videos of each class as reference materials. 

Note: This class can also be booked at a discount as part of our new Web Combo class.

9:00 – 10:15 Intro to ASP.NET MVC and the MVC Pattern
What is the ASP.NET MVC Framework? Why does it exist? What are the use cases, its history, predecessors, and competitors? Have the MVC pattern demystified.
10:15 – 10:30 BREAK
10:30 – 12:00 Controllers and Models
Controllers are the starting point for every request in ASP.NET MVC, and as such, a great topic to start our in-depth exploration of ASP.NET MVC. Controllers orchestrate, decide how to retrieve information and pass it to the “view”. This information is referred to as “the model” in ASP.NET MVC, which is also a topic of discussion in this session.
12:00 – 13:30 LUNCH BREAK
13:30 – 14:45 Views
The previous session explored the Controller and the Model (the “M” and the “C” in “MVC”), which leaves the Views (the “V” part). Views are a way to present information to the user. While the Controller and the Model can be seen as the logic part of the UI layer, the View is the part that is actually visible to the user. In a Web world, this mostly (but not always) means HTML. MVC supports different “View Engines”, each providing a slightly different way to create the resulting UI (HTML). This session mainly discusses the 2 integrated view engines (mostly the new “Razor” view engine, but also the traditional “Code Nuggets” engine). This session also briefly discusses the use of other view engines, although the main focus is on the default engines provided by Microsoft.
14:45 – 15:00 BREAK
15:00 – 16:30 Advanced Topics: AJAX, Services, JSON and more
Since the advent of Web 2.0, web applications have been doing more and more work on the client, using technologies such as JavaScript, which then use techniques, technologies, and standards such as AJAX, JSON, and Services to communicate with the server when needed, without having to navigate to a new page. This session shows how to do that.
16:30 – 16:45 BREAK
16:45 – ?? Ask the Experts / Q&A
