So, last night together with Tonci Kaleb, a colleague Siniša Dolinac and my ex. boss Tonci Vatavuk I’ve went to Zadar to the user group.

There I’ve held a presentation on the new ASP.NET MVC framework, while Tonci Kaleb talked about Smart Cards.

The meeting was great, I was pleased to see 10-15 people gather around for the user group in a smaller town like Zadar and we’ve talked from 17:30 well to 20:00 PM.

As promised here my materials are already published on my newfound code repository on google:

http://vladanstrigonet.googlecode.com

or you can access the presentation and materials directly via SVN from:

http://vladanstrigonet.googlecode.com/svn/presentations/aspnetmvc

(hint: download TortoiseSVN and use it to download from the Repository)

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Cheers!

As you might know from my previous posts I am hyped up about ASP.NET MVC. Naturally when I got the chance to talk about it, I took it hands on and am preparing a session for the user group which will be held this Friday.

Here is the session title and announcement in Croatian as published on the user groups website:

“…5. MS Community SQL/DEV okupljanje u Zadru

Pozivamo vas na 5. skup MS Community SQL & Developers User Group u Zadru.

17:15 - 17:30 Uvodna riječ
Neven Pintarić i Niko Vrdoljak

17:30 - 18:15 Uvod u ASP.NET Model-View-Controller (MVC) Framework
Jedna od prednosti korištenja MVC metodologije jest pravilno odvajanje uloga pojedinih dijelova koda u aplikacijama. Kako će u bliskoj budućnosti i ASP.NET kao platforma imati mogućnost izrade aplikacija prema MVC arhitekturi kroz ovo predavanje nam je cilj pokazati vam osnove rada s tim frameworkom, kao i mogućnosti koje isti donosi već danas.Također ćemo vam usmjeriti pozornost na drugi važan cilj koji ispunjava novi Framework - testabilnost vaših aplikacija. Pokazati ćemo vam kako napokon ASP.NET dobiva mogućnost pravilnog verificiranja zahtjeva klijenta kroz automatizirane testove pišući iste kroz Test-Driven-Development način razvoja.

Vladan Strigo, Microsoft MVP, Netmedia

18:15 - 18:45 Pizza, pivo, sokovi, grickalice…

18:45 - 19:30 Pametne kartice
Danas sve više uređaja nosi epitet pametni - tako imamo pametne mobilne telefone, pametne automobile, pametne frižidere…Kako mogu biti pametne plastične kartice? Kako se očituje ta njihova pamet?
Koristimo ih u mobilnoj telefoniji, bankarstvu, trgovini, zdravstvu, transportu, za ulazak u firmu, za gledanje satelitskih programa. Impozantan popis za tako malu stvar koja stane u svaki džep ili novčanik.Predavanje će vam predstaviti pametne kartice.

Thought I mention it here…

On our local biggest Microsoft conference - WinDays 2007 - I am doing a presentation this year on an interest topic of writting client scripts and components with ASP.NET AJAX. I am excited to see the reaction of people when they see the possibilities with client side scripting with ASP.NET AJAX so I am glad this session went through the conference content team.

You can see more info on the conference here:

Also, if you have any questions on ASP.NET, DotNetNuke, Sharepoint, or any other area in which I can assist you, you can find me in the “Ask the Experts” lounge of the conference - in the area for ASP.NET:

Hope I see you there… Cheers!
