I’ve been attending a full day of presentations by Scott Guthrie, who seems to be involved in most things interesting at Microsoft. The output from this guy is just amazing; blogging, products, teams, and thoughts… A lot.
I really looked forward to hearing him live and specifically what he had to say about ASP.NET MVC 2.
It was all good – even though the tempo in the presentation was breakneck speed. Many of the new technologies from Microsoft nowadays aim to be extensible and possible to tweak to your preferences.
From ASP.NET MVC 2 I especially like:
- The xxxFor HTML-helper methods
- The EditorFor helper methods
- Areas (which I understood for the first time during this presentation, thank you Scott).
I’m now enjoying his presentation on Silverlight 4, which will be my introduction to Silverlight…
This was a great day that taught me a lot and also made me realize what I don’t know… A lot…
