aspConf 2012 Sessions Rev9 Sessions for aspConf 2012 http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/aspConf/aspConf en Enterprise Search with MVC 4 In this talk Chander Dhall will go over his consulting experiences on search. Code examples will be on asp.net Mvc4, Lucene and Visual Studio 11. Yes, search is important and a big part of user experience. Given the informational diversity and the particular situational context, we as developers need to provide the best possible experience to the consumer. Whereas the UI code is an important part of it, the algorithms behind the scenes are even more important. Come and have a deep dive session into Information Retrieval and search queries.

But ASP.NET doesn't make it an either/or choice. Not only can you have all three side-by-side in the same application, but also WebForms pages can take advantage of all the MVC goodness (routing, Html and Url helpers, etc.) and still let you use the WebForms viewstate/event model. It only takes a few lines of code.

Especially the services and components they provide. Different clouds from different cloud providers differ by components, services and APIs but, nevertheless, they use exactly the same common principles. This means that developers can use similar patterns and practices developing cloud solutions across different clouds. During our session we're going to learn some patterns while developing a scalable responsive cloud solution utilizing Azure, ASP.NET MVC + WebAPI, SignalR and KnockoutJS.

Is your application? The explosion of mobile capable devices has changed the way people work and play. While most enterprises have embraced mobile technologies few have put those technologies to good use. Enterprise applications need to adapt their user experiences to the mobile user, but the question is what applications and how? This presentation will center on how Sandia National Laboratories is endeavoring to answer that question, focusing on application development strategies and mobile development frameworks. Let our experiences and analysis help with your mobile transition.

That is the question we hear every day at ComponentOne. Instead of speculating about it, we decided to sit down and try it. Today we will discuss the process and tools we used when doing so. The approach we took was to use the MVVM pattern (from Silverlight) when developing the HTML5/JavaScript version. By choosing this method we were able to port our data access and UI layers quite easily. We take advantage of tools like KnockoutJS and Wijmo to make the process even easier. Our developers were able to minimize the cost of learning new paradigms in this migration by reusing most of their knowledge. What we ended up with was nearly identical applications in Silverlight and HTML5. Come learn how you can smoothly transition to HTML5!

This session is for you. We will go over the core concepts of the framework so you will have a good foundation, whether you want to start making websites with ASP.NET MVC, want to better understand the other sessions of aspconf that use the framework, or both. I will make sure there is plenty of Q&A time, so you can bring your questions as well.

But these benefits are only fully realized if the project and solution is set up properly. Otherwise, it's very possible to create a tightly coupled Big Ball of Mud solution that's difficult to test and change. In this session, we'll create a 'Walking Skeleton' solution of a simple web application using ASP.NET MVC 4 that shows off certain best practices of creating maintainable, loosely coupled solutions.

In this talk Keith will discuss how the ASP.NET MVC lends itself to testability. He will provide guidance on how to architect your code and solution structure to lend itself to lend itself to unit testing. He will also dive deep into how you can, using SOLID design principles, make it even more testable. Keith will then provide the tools that you can add to your developer tool belt to make test driven development in the ASP.NET MVC framework less coupled, less repetitive, more automated and all around more enjoyable. Tool discussion will include StructureMap, RhinoMocks, Should Assertion Library, MVCContrib, and WatiN.

Everyone knows that one of the major benefits of ASP.NET MVC over WebForms is improved testability, namely easier unit testing. But did you know that the MVC framework also makes it far easier to create strongly-typed, refactor-friendly integration tests for your application? It's true! And the SpecsFor.Mvc framework makes things even easier by handling all of the boiler-plate setup for you. Join me for a 60-minute crash course on integration testing your ASP.NET MVC application using SpecsFor.Mvc!

In order to deliver this experience a developer needs to arm themselves with the correct tools and in the past this meant picking and choosing from available tooling that may not have been designed to play to nice together and if they do play nice together they may not do it in the most efficient manner possible. In this talk Keith will introduce you to Kendo UI, an exciting new toolset that uses the power of HTML5 and jQuery to provide you with all the weapons you need to deliver immersive modern HTML applications in a single package.

All .NET. All Community Driven. One hour. Go. In the .NET space the overwhelming majority of web projects are built with ASP.NET in one form or another. For many of those projects this a good choice. But there are alternatives. Alternatives that offer other approaches, and supports other ways of thinking. Alternatives that are developed by the community. Altenratives that run on Mono. Maybe one those alternatives is the better fit for your next project - except if don't know about them you will never know. In this code heavy talk I'll show the same sample application in the three Open Source .NET web frameworks FubuMVC, OpenRasta and Nancy.

Glimpse allows you to take a never before seen look inside your server. Instead of forcing you to go line by line inside your code, Glimpse does the work for you. It tells you exactly what's going on with each request. It's able to summarize your server data in a way that facilitates ease of understanding.  Glimpse is the tool that not only lets you follow your code, it combines and displays your data in such a way that the debugging process that once took hours can now take minutes.  After releasing Glimpse at Mix11, Glimpse has become a tool that is used daily by tens of thousands of developers around the world.

But for just as many, if not more, projects, a full one size fits all service solution like WCF is just overkill, and adds unnecessary complexity. This is A Bad Thing. In this talk, I'll go over a lightweight, low-ceremony approach to creating a public APIs for the web in .NET. I will show how to use REST and the Nancy framework to create service applications with less code, less cruft and fewer maintenance headaches. We'll follow the super-duper happy path of Nancy, .NET's answer to Ruby's ultra-lightweight Sinatra framework, to create RESTfull API's that takes full advantage of HTTP and it's ubiquity to make building client applications equally enjoyable.`

However, as with any library there are a common set of bugs that tend to crop up the more you use it. This session aims to help equip developers with the appropriate knowledge and tools to exterminate many common bugs seen in jQuery code. For each topic that is covered we will start with a piece of code that has a jQuery bug, then identify what the bug is, explain why it is happening, and then proceed to explore various techniques to exterminate the bug. Some bugs have a simple fix, whereas other bugs have numerous ways you could look at solving the problem. These solutions can range from simple to advanced concepts. By exterminating bugs in multiple ways it will help expose some of the newer and more advanced features of jQuery that aren't as widely known. Some of the bugs that we will address involve dealing with synchronous and asynchronous code, uncovering some possibly confusing aspects of the $.each method, explaining why and how you might have killed event delegation, looking into weird formatting issues when dealing with JSON and object literals, discussing the confusion of the jQuery wrapper versus the native DOM element, explaining the difference between commonly confused jQuery methods, uncovering why some animations have a mind of their own, determining when several ajax calls have finished, and much more. As you might have noticed some of the examples listed above aren't necessarily jQuery specific, but since the library is JavaScript there are many core concepts of JavaScript that are necessary to understand when using jQuery.
