    Dissecting DevEvents.com: A Look at a Real World .NET MVC Implementation

    WhereVersa Trans Solution, Latham, NY
    When: Tuesday, September 8, 2009 6:30-9PM
    Who: Steven Andrews, Team System MVP

    Technology: Microsoft & .NET: ASP.NET (200 level) 

    The ASP.NET MVC Framework provides a powerful Model View Controller (MVC) approach to building web applications, and provides separation of concerns, increased testability, control over HTML output, and intuitive URLs. We will start by looking at building a model framework with LINQ to SQL, including validation and model binding. Then, we'll explore a custom generics-based repository and services implementation. Finally, we'll tie it all together with a look at Views and jQuery. 

    BIO:

    Steve Andrews is a Team System MVP and INETA speaker, and has been working as a developer for more than 9 years. During this time, he has designed and developed applications in such widely varying areas as trust accounting, medical information management, supply chain management, and retail systems. Steve is also a MCTS, ICSOO, and community fanatic. View more info on Steve on www.PlatinumBay.com and www.DevEvents.com

  • Account Creation Back...Hopefully...

    Update: Yeah, that didn't work so well.  Back to ReCaptcha....

    I just re-enabled account creation using a new invisible captcha service since ReCaptcha was letting us down.  For the web devs out there (note I'm NOT one :) ) that might be interested in this stuff, we're now using the InvisibleCaptcha control from Phil Haack now part of the Subkismet project at CodePlex.  In this project you'll also find controls for Akismet and a few other spam-busting services.

  • Account Creation Temporarily Disabled

    We're getting a TON of SPAM users being created, somehow bypassing our ReCaptcha prompt in the process.  For now, I've temporarily disabled new account creations.  If you'd like to create an account, just click the Contact TVUG link and I'll manually create one for you.  Thanks!
