Unleash Your Coding Genius with Web Camps!
Posted on December 17, 2010 by Chris Koenig
Starting in March 2011, we’re rolling out a series of 12 Web Camps in the Central US. Microsoft’s Web Camps are events designed to teach you all about building websites using ASP.NET MVC, WebMatrix, OData and more. We’ve held Web Camps all around the world over the past few years, but we’re taking them to the next level this year with more of one- and two-day events in Central Region, and one just might be near you.
If you’re near Austin, TX or Chicago, IL, you’ll want to join us for a special two-day Web Camp. We’ll cover ASP.NET MVC in-depth on day one and help you get hands-on on day two, facilitating smaller groups through labs, live-coding exercises, or even collaborating on your apps! If you can’t make a two-day event, never fear! We have a series of one-day camps in March, April, May and June throughout the region.
Join Clark Sell and Brandon Satrom for a special WebMatrix and ASP.NET MVC Web Camp you don’t want to miss. No matter your expertise in web development, these Web Camps are the perfect opportunity to get hands-on experience and ‘unleash your coding genius’.
Our interactive sessions will:
- Introduce ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web Pages and WebMatrix; discuss possible uses of these
- Explore new features of ASP.NET MVC 3
- Take a dive deep into jQuery
- Facilitate an in-depth discussion on when to migrate ASP.NET WebPages applications to ASP.NET MVC
- Discuss configuration and deployment of web applications.
This event is a unique opportunity, partnering classroom learning with hands-on-labs, and leveraging experts to help you build new and exciting websites.
