One of the talks I give is an introduction to ASP.NET MVC with a splash of jQuery. The first 3/4 of the talk is an introduction to ASP.NET MVC and the last 1/4 is an introduction to jQuery and how the 2 technologies can be used together to create current web applications.
I have attached the code for both demos that I give in the talk, the database used for the demo ASP.NET MVC application, and the slides in pdf format.
If you have any issues or questions with the code or the demo, or if you would like to hear this talk at your user group or meeting, please email me at jamie AT brilliantfantastic DOT com.
Abstract
The ASP.NET MVC framework and the jQuery javascript framework work very well together in order to build up to date, rich client web applications with no need for silly plugins.
ASP.NET MVC is a alternative to the traditional ASP.NET web forms from Microsoft. They both use ASP.NET as the mechanism to talk between a web browser and IIS but the patterns they implement are far different.
ASP.NET MVC is modeled after popular model-view-controller web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails. It was not built to replace ASP.NET web forms but rather as an alternative to the viewstate/post back model of web forms.
We will look at the patterns of the ASP.NET MVC framework and explore the work flow of requests and responses to and from a server as well as how it differs from the traditional web forms applications.
jQuery is a javascript framework that is designed to make cross-browser DOM programming easier and make developing with javascript suck less. In this presentation, we will go over the basics of jQuery which will allow you to go home and get started right away. We will cover concepts such as DOM manipulation, CSS manipulation, ajax requests, and user interface effects. jQuery makes performing these tasks trivial and allows you to add ajax calls and Flash-like effects to your web site easily.
