Description
Today, ASP.NET webforms is a well established and highly productive platform for building web applications. Some people though, crave more control. They want to operate that bit closer to the metal, enjoy a clear separation of concerns and ensure that unit testing their application is made as easy as possible.
Enter ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET MVC enables you to build Model View Controller (MVC) applications with the ASP.NET framework as an alternative to ASP.NET webforms.
In this session we'll take a look at the drivers behind MVC, the architecture of a typical ASP.NET MVC application, new features in ASP.NET that make it possible and we'll build a simple ASP.NET MVC application to explore the key concepts.

Registration
For Health and Safety reasons registration is required so that we don't go over capacity at the venue. If you sign up and can no longer attend then please let us know so we can remove you from the list and allow others to sign up.
Due to the high demand we've managed to secure a larger room doubling our capacity to 70 people. We are in the Scot & Conan-Doyle rooms at Microsoft's new office in Edinburgh.
