ASP.NET MVC with S#arp Architecture – Philly .NET Code Camp 2009.1 Slides and Code

Thanks to everyone who came out to Philly.NET’s Code Camp last Saturday! I had a great time meeting many of the attendees and other speakers. I think I’ve learned some good lessons from my first public .NET speaking engagement and hope to refine and improve my talk and give it again soon.

I presented ‘ASP.NET MVC Development with S#arp Architecture’ on Rachel Appel’s ASP.NET track. If you are interested in checking out the slides or my sample code, you can get them here:

There is a great list of useful links at the end of the slideshow. Make sure to check them all out if you are working with ASP.NET MVC.
