I was part of Swedish MSDNs Summer Camp events today and was on stage with Robert Folkesson to present news for Web Developers in Visual Studio 2008.
My part was to present the MVC framework and Dynamic Data. Below are the slides and demos!
First of all... it was mostly demos on my part. So there aren't many slides.
Second: Is there a point to developing your own slides when Microsoft's own program managers and evangelists already have done it? Of course not! These slides are a compilation of Scott Hanselmans slides on MVC and Scott Hunters slides on Dynamic Data. I actually asked Hunter to give me a few hints to presenting Dynamic Data and among other things he gave me his slides. The same Hunter is presenting at our event Øredev 2008!
But here are the slides: Sommarkollo 2008 Slides
Also I zipped all my demos. Most of them are downloadable demos from Microsoft's sites on MVC and Dynamic Data but I've also included some demos of my own and Rob Conerys very cool ASP.NET MVC PagedListT.
One thing I pointed out about Dynamic Data... or two things really:
1) Dynamic data is very powerful. With huge powers comes huge responsibility! You can do lots of things, fast, with Dynamic Data. This does not mean that you should! You can expose your entire database in a fully functional web application in a mater of minutes. But be careful. We want the guy on the left but this framework has the power to easily become the guy on the left.
2) Set up a Dynamic Data web site and lock it down to the admin user group! THEN you expose selected parts, views, pages, whatever you want to name them (parts of your data), to your other user groups. You can use Dynamic Controls on regular ASP.NET web pages.
I zipped the demos too: MVC and Dynamic Data Demos
Cheers,
