Presentation: Rails vs .NET

Posted by Joe Wilson on Friday, August 26, 2011 10:12 AM

I had a lot of fun speaking at the inaugural Boulder Tech Throwdown last night.  The topic was Ruby on Rails vs. ASP.NET MVC.  Thanks to Ely Lucas for doing an awesome job (as usual) co-presenting with me on the ASP.NET MVC side.

The follow up panel discussion with the Ruby on Rails guys was really high quality, thanks to insights and comments from Collin Schaafsma and Ryan Cook.

Thanks also to Paul Sabini, Fernando Cardenas, and George Morris for organizing the meetup and for the invite.

The slides and code can be downloaded here.

Presentation: What's New in MVC 2?

Posted by Joe Wilson on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 12:35 PM

Thanks to all the folks who attended the South Colorado .NET User Group Visual Studio 2010 launch on May 6th.  We went through a giant buffet of new things in Visual Studio, Entity Framework, SharePoint, Silverlight, and ASP.NET.  Slides from my talk on the new features in MVC 2 can be downloaded here.

Big thanks also to Ben Hoelting for putting the event together.  I liked the mini code camp format!  It was a lot of info, but it was a great survey of most of the new features.

Presentation: Should you use MVC on your next project?

Posted by Joe Wilson on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 12:32 AM

Thanks to all those who came out for the Colorado Springs User Group.  The slides and code can be downloaded here.

There were a few complaints about the black background in Visual Studio making the code harder to read.  I'm sorry about that.  Next time, I'll use the default Visual Studio settings.
