• My Presentations in Arizona this Tuesday

  This week I'm visiting Scottsdale Arizona and will be presenting at a free user group event during the day.  I'm presenting two sessions myself: 1) Developing Applications using Silverlight 2 : This will be a drill-down into the new Silverlight 2 Beta1 release, and how you can build applications with it using VS 2008 and Expression Blend.  You'll leave this session with a good understanding of the basics of Silverlight programming and how to start building applications with it. 2) Developing Applications using ASP.NET MVC : This session will be a drill-down into the new ASP.NET Model-View-Controller framework option (which last week was updated .  You'll leave this session with a good understanding of what it is...

• Visiting China, South Korea and Japan the Next Two Weeks

  This Friday I'm leaving for a 10 day trip to Asia.  Traveling on business doesn't usually get me excited (I was on a plane ~70 times last year), but I am really looking forward to this trip as it will be my first trip to Asia.  I'll be visiting China (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen), South Korea (Seoul), and Japan (Tokyo), and I will be presenting at events, meeting with customers, and visiting one of the development teams in my group that is based in China.  I'm also hoping to get a chance to see immerse myself a little in the countries. Below are some details on the presentations I'll be doing during the trip if you are interested in attending or learning more: China (Beijing, January 13th) South Korea (Coex Conference Center 310...

• ASP.NET MVC Framework

  One of the things that many people have asked for over the years with ASP.NET is built-in support for developing web applications using a model-view-controller (MVC) based architecture. Last weekend at the Alt.NET conference in Austin I gave the first public demonstration of a new ASP.NET MVC framework that my team has been working on. You can watch a video of my presentation about it on Scott Hanselman's blog here . We'll be releasing a public preview of this ASP.NET MVC Framework a little later this year. We'll then ship it as a fully supported ASP.NET feature in the first half of next year. What is a Model View Controller (MVC) Framework? MVC is a framework methodology that divides an application's implementation into three component roles... Posted Oct 15 2007, 01:41 AM by ScottGu's Blog Filed under: ASP.NET, .NET, Talks, MVC

• My Slides/Samples from MIX:UK - Building Silverlight Apps with .NET and Building ASP.NET Apps with VS 2008

  The last two days I've been speaking at the the MIX:UK conference that was held this week in London.

I also had the chance to participate on 2 panels (including a really fun one where we sat around and drank tea, ate biscuits, and discussed technology trends). Below are the slides + demos from my talks if you are interested in downloading them. Building Silverlight Applications with .NET (Part 1 and 2) This two part session drilled into...

• Building Silverlight Applications using .NET

  I'm just about to hop on the flight back to Seattle after finishing up a 10 day business trip to Europe where I spoke at conferences and user group events in Budapest, Amsterdam and Zurich. Although trips like these are a little exhausting, I find them really valuable as a way to connect with developers from around the world, as well as provide me the opportunity to create and deliver new presentations and samples. One of the talks I delivered on this trip was a new "Building Silverlight Applications using .NET" talk that people seemed to really like. Building Silverlight Applications using .NET Talk I tried to keep the format and samples in this talk simple, and used a model where I used a few slides to explain each programming model concept...
