Choose the topic for VBUG's London July Technical Seminar!

So let's get a bit interactive here, please send your vote from the choice of:

1. Testing your webforms - The MVP model

Webforms don’t let themselves be testable easily. Using the Model-View-Presenter pattern, you’ll see how you can turn an existing webforms application and extract the useful code in a testable component, getting rid of the code-behind.

2. Exposing your data in a REST fashion with ado.net data services

Ado.net data services, code-named Astoria, is the most REST-y framework Microsoft has worked on to date. Discover how you can expose your data to various clients, leverage it from javascript and from rich clients, and how you can expose your existing code in a REST fashion.

3. Code-first Linq2Sql – How to write the code first and not care about the schema

The traditional way to design a database involves sql scripts manually maintained in svn, and trying to keep your ORM in sync with the changes to your database schema. In this session you’ll learn how you can put things around and design your data access code first, and leverage linq2sql and msbuild to never have to care about SQL again.

4. Test-first asp.net development – Use asp.net MVC to build an Ajax website

Asp.net MVC is Microsoft’s new web development model implementing the Model-View-Controller pattern. You’ll discover how to write an asp.net MVC application, what are the differences from webforms and how to implement AJAX, and how it will help you test more of your application.
