Enterprise MVC Apps - Two part course

The Model View Controller design pattern has been an proven and effective way of structuring applications for more than 30 years. In 2007, Microsoft introduced ASP.NET MVC to the world and since then, the framework has evolved into a mature and powerful way of writing dynamic web sites and powerful web applications.

ASP.NET MVC provides a great way of structuring your application, ensuring a clean separation of concerns, easy testability, and ultimate control over markup. It is quickly becoming the go-to framework for writing .Net web applications.

This 2 part course series will be run at 3 capital cities around Australia, with an option to complete the course online where you are unable to attend a location.

From Zero to Everywhere with ASP.NET MVC 4

Mobile devices like tablets and phones are quickly becoming the primary way people access the web. So why do so many websites still provide a horrible mobile experience?

With ASP.NET MVC, it's easier than ever to literally put your site in the palm of everyone's hand. MVC 3 had many great features that allow you to target mobile devices with different layout and even content. The recent releases of MVC 4 makes things even easier and show that Microsoft is really thinking about web-enabled devices and new web technologies.

In this demo-heavy session, Damian Brady will show off some of the best parts of ASP.NET MVC 4 to help make targeting mobile devices easy.
