Guest on Cloud Cover Show: What's new in Visual Studio 2012, ASP.NET 4.5, ASP.NET MVC 4 and Windows Azure Web Sites

I was the guest star on the Cloud Cover Show this past week talking about what's new for web developers in Visual Studio 2012, ASP.NET 4.5, ASP.NET MVC 4, and Windows Azure Web Sites. As a remote presenter (I recorded my screencast while at ThatConference in Wisconsin Dells), I was given the floating head treatment when first introduced:

I gave a 20 minute walkthrough, showing the following highlights:

  • File / New Project with ASP.NET 4.5
    • NuGet packages in the default template (and why that's good)
    • Adaptive rendering in the default ASP.NET 4.5 project template
    • A few Visual Studio 2012 web developer features (CSS color picker, fonts, HTML5 snippets)
    • Strongly typed data control
    • Model binding support
    • Note: ASP.NET 4.5 requires .NET 4.5, will be supported in Azure some time after .NET 4.5 GA
  • File / New Project with ASP.NET MVC 4
    • Supports both .NET 4 and .NET 4.5
    • New ASP.NET MVC 4 project types
    • Same template experience as ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms - adaptive rendering, etc.
    • Code-based configuration moved to App_Start
    • OAuth login support
    • Add new ASP.NET Web API controller
    • Show Web API
  • Deploy MVC 4 Application to Windows Azure Web Sites
    • Create new website in Windows Azure Web Sites portal, download publish profile
    • Visual Studio 2012 Web Publish dialog
    • Publish and demo site

Thanks to Nick and Cory for inviting me on the show. I hope my disembodied head will be invited back on Cloud Cover again soon.
