| Be Productive with MVC: Open Source Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVCSpeaker(s): Todd Anglin
The introduction of ASP.NET MVC offers ASP.NET developers solutions to many of the weaknesses found in ASP.NET WebForms. ASP.NET MVC is more testable, it provides maximum developer control over rendered HTML, and it doesn't add large, unsightly hidden fields to the page. But it also forces ASP.NET developers to give-up some of the productivity enjoyed in WebForms, especially at the presentation layer. Take-back the productivity of WebForms without sacrificing MVC principles with the open source Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. In this session, you'll learn how Telerik is helping the community define the UI extension model for ASP.NET MVC. You'll see one of the first previews of the Telerik Extensions in action and learn how easy it is to get started working with the first purpose-built reusable UI components for ASP.NET MVC.

| Leveraging Client Capabilities with jQuery in Visual Studio and ASP.NETSpeaker(s): Robert Boedigheimer
Microsoft has embraced the popular jQuery open source JavaScript library, which is already used by many major web sites. jQuery provides a very productive enivornment for client side programming in JavaScript. It takes advantage of existing knowledge of CSS selector syntax to offer a powerful and efficient alternative to the DOM. The use of operation chaining and implicit iteration lead to a very compact and productive syntax. The library is very lean at a mere 15K, yet provides a strong base and a great extensibility model which has led to a large number of plugin extensions to simplify web development. The session will review how to use the library for very useful features such as watermarks, avoiding browser inconsistencies, and making AJAX calls to the server. Several plug ins will be demonstrated which provide stunning client experiences with as little as 1 line of code! We will also study how to extend the library with our own custom utility funcitons and plug ins. Learn how Jquery and the Microsoft AJAX Library JavaScript libraries greatly simplify client side development, and which to use for particular scenarios.

| Test Driven Development(Tdd): A C# DemoSpeaker(s): Brett Schuchert
Test driven development, what is it? How should it look? This will be an interactive demonstration of Tdd. Brett will begin with a simple problem and then apply the three laws of Tdd to grow a mini application. The application will go in a direction driven by the audience, so the end result will depend on what happens during the demo.
