ASP.NET MVC – 0 to 30 in 30 minutes

I recorded the following presentation for DevReady.NET, a new project that I am working on with a bunch of talented MVC’s and Microsoft employees.

After I get done with editing the presentation, I will post it up to DevReady.NET and my blog.  This will be my first try at making a video presentation for the web, so I look forward to your comments.

My First Presentation at 10:00

I have been asked back to do my presentation from April again in the newly expanded Beginner I track at 10:00 AM.  The abstract for this talk is as follows:

This session explores the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment and how it is used to develop Web and Windows applications.  The topics include:

  • The IDE
  • Solutions and projects
  • Templates
  • Files created
  • The debugger
  • The configuration file

If you are going to be attending this talk please bring Visual C# 2008 Express with you, that is going to be the main tool I will be using to demonstrate the features of Visual Studio.


My Second Presentation at 3:30 PM

I will also be doing a new presentation on extending Visual Stuido 2010 in the Tools track at 3:30 PM.  The abstract for this is as follows:

I will be showing the basics of how to get started on extending Visual Studio 2010 for custom highlighting and intellisense support for custom Domain Specific Languages that may be used with in a company for configuration or custom processing. I will be using a real world example, of how I am extending visual studio to support the coding of the Apache mod_rewrite style configuration files that are used in my URL Rewriter that was featured in PDC 2008 last year. http://urlrewriter.codeplex.com

If you are going to be attending this talk please bring Visual Studio 2010 with you and the Visual Studio SDK already installed.


On the day of the presentation I will be posting up the slides and any links that are relevant to my presentation on this blog.

Managed Fusion URL Rewriter Was Featured at PDC 2008

The Managed Fusion URL Rewriter, that I work on and that runs this blog, was featured in PDC 2008 by CJ Saretto (Senior Program Manager for Microsoft Home Server). He used it as a reverse proxy to demonstrate streaming video and music from Windows Home Server to the internet from a simulated internal home network.

I have cut down the actual video presentation to the segment that mentioned the Managed Fusion URL Rewriter. If you want to skip to the good parts in this segmented video, I recommend:

  • 2:20 – Managed Fusion URL Rewriter is first mentioned
  • 7:00 – An impressive video demonstration streaming through the rewriter


Clips comes from about 18:00 minutes in to http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/ES12/

If you are actually wondering why I am bringing this up now, and not 6 months ago when PDC 2008 was going on… Well it is because I just found out about it at the end of last month, 5 months after the fact. And to be totally honest the video presentation blew me away, because that is some serious bandwidth to show a video of that high of a quality. Especially because the ProxyHandler.cs code was suppose to handle at most small images and HTML being served from a remote server.
