Enterprise MVC Apps Day I

Description

We know a developer who is really frustrated with MVC.

His name is John and he has been trying to build an enterprise MVC app for months now. The problem is he is not getting any closer. He has spent countless hours searching Google (uh..um Bing) but has had no luck.

He can find countless code samples, that all seem to be written specifically to show off the latest and greatest features, but nothing that represents trying to build a real world application from the ground up.

Well we decided to do something to help John and hopefully you.

We have been building Enterprise MVC apps for years now and we want to teach you how to do it the right way.

Forget the simplistic self-contained code samples you are probably looking at now. We are going to show you exactly how we build enterprise MVC applications at SSW.
