Today, Mariano Sanchez, Rodolfo Finochietti and me gave a presentation about building web apps with the new  ASP.NET MVC Framework. I’m really happy, the conference was really crowded, there were stand up people, and even people sat on the floor.

Briefly, for those how couldn’t attend to the presentation, we spoke about how to structure an application using the MVC pattern, and a little about development models history.

We also  provided an introduction to the core concepts of the framework and showed a demo involving all of them. The dessert’s  strawberry were the jQuery and AJAX demos.

I hope that people have enjoyed it as much as I did, and hopefully see you all again the next year. Besides the technical stuff of the presentation, Code Camp is an event where I always found those friends from the industry that I don’t see every day, so I really enjoy it.

Hope has been useful!

The next Saturday, September 26th, at UP (Mario Bravo 1050) in Buenos Aires myself and many other Lagash team mates will be speaking at Microsoft CodeCamp conference.

Mariano Sanchez, Rodolfo Finochietti and me will be talking about building web applications with the ASP.NET MVC Framework, in a session called “Desarrollando sitios web escalables con ASP.NET MVC”, scheduled in the mid-day at 12:30.

We will provide an introduction to the right use of the ASP.NET MVC framework, our demo will cover the core concepts of it. As a bonus track we will show how to use jQuery to pimp our application and provide a better user experience.

Hope to see you there!

Phil Haack just announced that the RC 2 version of this beautiful framework is available to download. There are a few changes from RC 1, most of these are in the installer, you can see the details here.

Why not RTM? Let me quote Phil’s blog.

As a result of these changes, we realized it would be prudent to have one more public release candidate. As I mentioned, there are very few runtime and tooling changes. Most of the changes are in the installer and we want to make sure that the installer is rock solid before we call it an RTM.

Based on all your feedback from the first Release Candidate, as well as our own investigations and testing, we are confident that the Release Candidate 2 will be solid and lead to a strong RTM.

As usual you can download the source code at codeplex.

Thanks to Phil Haack and the whole ASP.NET MVC Team, they did a great job with this framework. I’m exciting waiting for the RTM, but I think this release is solid as RC1.

Hope you enjoy it!
