On Wednesday, April 6th I will be presenting at the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group on utilizing ASP.NET MVC as an “alternative” to various web service options in the .NET stack (WCF, ASMX, etc).
The group meets at Interface Technical Training near the corner of Thomas and Central in downtown Phoenix.

Over the past two weeks I’ve jumped head first into a new, and exciting, stack for a client project developing an API using node.js with a MongoDB data store.
It’s been a fairly successful start, although I’m the first to admit my raw JavaScript skills have gotten rusty after years of web forms and, more recently, relying on things like jQuery for UI work in my web applications. Combining that with my first heavy foray into Mongo, which I’ve tinkered with in the past, and it’s provided a lot of excitement for me to learn some totally new approaches to system architecture which always inspires me to look at how to leverage some of the approaches/techniques to my primary role as a .NET consultant.
As with many edge frameworks, node.js is easy to get going with on OSX or Linux. Windows is a bit trickier, but Tatham Oddie posted a good little tidbit of info explaining how to get node up and running using the MinGW approach described. I tried this last night on my Windows7 boot and it worked pretty well.
I encourage those of you who at least haven’t looked into node.js to do so. Just to understand what it is. I’m not looking at this as a replacement for Rails, Sinatra, ASP.NET, or anything like that; But for an API that just responds to and receives data via RESTful calls, it seems ideal.
Once I get the project wrapped up, I plan to do some more posts showing what I’ve learned and pitfalls to avoid, from a .NET-developers perspective.
Based on feedback from last night’s presentation I gave at the Southeast Valley .NET User Group (if you attended the SEVDNUG meeting, please don’t forget to rate the presentation here), I have decided to add a new “intro” session for ASP.NET MVC 3 at Desert Code Camp 2011, which will be held at Chandler-Gilbert Community College on Saturday, April 2nd 2011. The event is 100% free.
Below are the sessions I will be teaching and links for you to show interest, which will help the organizers determine the room and time it will be held (based on projected attendance/interest level).
Development Sessions
Intro to ASP.NET MVC 3 – basic intro for those with little to no experience with the Microsoft MVC implementation.

If you attended my presentation or not, I have compiled a list of valuable links to cover many aspects of ASP.NET MVC3 discussed in the presentation on Feb 24, 2011.
Here is a bundle thanks to bit.ly and bridgeurl.
