  • Slides from my ASP.NET Connections Orlando Talks

    Last week I presented at the ASP.NET Connections Conference in Orlando.  I gave a general session talk on Monday, and then two breakout talks later that day.  You can download my slides+samples below:

    General Session

    The slides for my keynote can be downloaded here. 

    In the talk I demonstrated how to debug the .NET Framework source code.  You can learn how to set this up with VS 2008 here. 

    I also demonstrated building a site using the new ASP.NET Dynamic Data support - which you can learn more about here.  I also demonstrated using the new ASP.NET MVC Framework - which you can learn more about here.

    I also showed off the new Hard Rock Memorabilia site built with Silverlight 2.  You can try out the Hard Rock application yourself here.  You can learn more about Silverlight from my links page here.

    Building .NET Applications with Silverlight

    The slides + demos for Silverlight breakout talk can be downloaded here.

    You can learn more about Silverlight from my links page here.  In particular, I recommend reading my tutorial posts here and here.

    ASP.NET MVC

    The slides + demos for my ASP.NET MVC talk can be downloaded here.

    You can learn more about the latest ASP.NET MVC source refresh here.  Stephen Walther also just posted a really good set of slides + demos from his post conference tutorial on ASP.NET MVC here.

    Hope this helps,

  • My Presentations in Arizona this Tuesday

    This week I'm visiting Scottsdale Arizona and will be presenting at a free user group event during the day.  I'm presenting two sessions myself:

    1) Developing Applications using Silverlight 2: This will be a drill-down into the new Silverlight 2 Beta1 release, and how you can build applications with it using VS 2008 and Expression Blend.  You'll leave this session with a good understanding of the basics of Silverlight programming and how to start building applications with it.

    2) Developing Applications using ASP.NET MVC: This session will be a drill-down into the new ASP.NET Model-View-Controller framework option (which last week was updated .  You'll leave this session with a good understanding of what it is, how it works, and how to start building ASP.NET web applications with it.

    In addition to my sessions above, there will also be great sessions at the event from Microsoft employees on "Consuming Web Services with Microsoft Silverlight", "Encoding Video for Microsoft Silverlight", and "Serving Applications with Microsoft Silverlight Streaming". 

    You can sign up and attend the sessions for free.  Click here for more details on the events, and click here to register online to attend. 

    Hope to see some of you there,

  • My Slides/Samples from MIX:UK - Building Silverlight Apps with .NET and Building ASP.NET Apps with VS 2008

    The last two days I've been speaking at the the MIX:UK conference that was held this week in London.  We had a sold out crowd of 500 people come to learn more about some of the new Microsoft web technologies.

    I gave 5 talks at the conference, including the Keynote and 4 breakout talks: Building Silverlight Applications with .NET (Part 1 and 2), and Building ASP.NET 3.5 Applications with VS 2008 (Part 1 and 2).  I also had the chance to participate on 2 panels (including a really fun one where we sat around and drank tea, ate biscuits, and discussed technology trends).

    Below are the slides + demos from my talks if you are interested in downloading them.

    Building Silverlight Applications with .NET (Part 1 and 2)

    This two part session drilled into how to build Silverlight 1.1 applications using .NET.  I really like the slide + sample approach of this talk (I first gave it at MIX:Hungary in June), and think it provides a really good way to learn the programming concepts of Silverlight 1.1 using .NET.

    • Click here to download the slides from the talk. 
    • Click here to download the samples from the talk.

    Note: All samples are built using the current Silverlight 1.1 Alpha and VS 2008 Beta2 with the Silverlight Tools Alpha Installed. 

    Building ASP.NET Applications using VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 (Part 1 and 2)

    This two part session was primarily a demo driven talk that shows off many of the new improvements for ASP.NET with .NET 3.5 and VS 2008. 

    • Click here to download the slides from the talk.
    • Click here to download the samples from the talk (these require VS 2008 Beta2).

    To learn more about VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 Beta2 for web development, please also check out these recent blog articles of mine that cover some of its features in more detail:

    General:

    VS 2008:

    ASP.NET in .NET 3.5:

    LINQ to SQL:

    New Language Features:

    One last note...

    I usually get at least 4-5 emails a week from people asking whether they can re-use some of my slides/samples for their own presentations (or books).  My answer to this is always "absolutely!"  Please do not worry about asking for permission on this - you can always re-use any of the content from my talks and blog postings (and feel free to re-use slides and decks wholesale).  I write this content to help people learn how to use .NET - so you helping spread the information is pure goodness from my perspective (my blog is technically not part of my official job, rather just a side hobby I enjoy and find useful).

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

  • Details on my speaking events in London, Omaha, and Las Vegas

    Several people have sent me mail asking what conferences I'll be speaking at over the next few months.  Below are a few events where I'll be covering ASP.NET, LINQ, VS 2008 and Silverlight content:

    MIX:UK 07 Conference in London on September 11th and 12th

    I'll be doing the keynote for this Microsoft event, as well as (at least) 4 technical breakout talks covering ASP.NET "Orcas", VS 2008, LINQ and Silverlight. 

    You can learn more and register for the event here.  Please note that the early-bird registration discount ends this Friday - so sign up soon.

    Heartland Developers Conference in Omaha, NE on October 18th and 19th

    I'll be doing a keynote for this event, as well as 4 technical breakout talks covering ASP.NET "Orcas", VS 2008, LINQ and Silverlight. 

    You can learn more and signup for this event here.

    Microsoft ASP.NET Connections Conference in Las Vegas from November 5th-8th

    I'll be doing a keynote and several technical breakout talks on ASP.NET, LINQ, AJAX and VS 2008.  If you haven't attended ASP.NET Connections before, I definitely recommend it.  They put on a really high quality show with great speakers.  It is co-hosted with VS Connections, SharePoint Connections, and SQL Connections, which means you can also attend great sessions on other related .NET technologies.

    You can learn more and register for the event here.

    Hope to see some of you in person soon!

    Scott
