Thank you HDNUG!

I enjoyed giving the presentation on ASP.NET MVC tonight to about 90 eager developers at HDNUG here in Houston.

There were a few people that had played with the framework before, a lot who had heard of it, and about 1/3 of the room had never heard of it.  Awesome!

There’s always a balance between how intro a talk should be, but one of my goals with this talk is to show real application code; to show how you actually test these things, and what types of practices and tools that can enable this and make it easy.

I hope that the talk was well received.  If you went, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments!

Some links from the talk:

I’m sending the code over to be posted at HDNUG right now.  After my tour ends next week, I’ll post a large recap that includes code and hopefully answers to common questions that I’ve been hearing.

They also recorded the talk, so once I get my hands on the video, I’ll throw it up here so others can have a look.

Thanks for having me HDNUG!

Ben,

Good presentation. Didn't get a chance to chat with you off-line, but liked everything that you presented. In case you are drawing a blank, I worked at Sogeti-Houston for a while last year (2007). Definately keep the presentations coming, good relevant, to the point stuff.

It was a very good presentation on MVC. Do you use IOC for anything but making certain objects testable? I’m not very familiar with IOC or DI in my world. MVC is an interesting presentation pattern. I’m not completely sold on it yet, but it appears to be the UI design method of choice, given the popularity of Ruby and the like. I’m more in the Rich Internet Application camp and will be testing Silverlight 2.0 in the near future. I’m currently using Flex, WebOrb, and .Net for a current web project and it Rocks!

IoC is an excellent principle to make your designs more decoupled. This has architectural benefits as well as testable benefits.

So, I use IoC as a rule, and it assists me in my testing.
