Jim Zimmerman - ASP.NET, MVC, Ajax and ORM

For those of you in the Tampa area come check out my session on Wednesday about Subsonic here.

Using Subsonic to rapidly build your asp.net applications

Learn how to get your project from idea to prototype in hours instead of days using a killer open source toolset called Subsonic.  Subsonic is a toolset / code generation tool that helps a website build itself.  It not only generates your DAL for you but creates a very productive framework inspired by ruby on rails for asp.net.  The databases supported are SQL Server 2000 or 2005, MySQL, and Oracle.  I will go through many of the features and learned best practices from projects where I have used this toolset.   I will also try to build an app from scratch in about 15 minutes, but don’t even think it will be pretty.

If you have not used subsonic before you definitely will want to come check it out and see how powerful this tool is.  You can go to http://www.subsonicproject.com/ and check it out before hand and come armed with questions.  I have been using this since last December and have standardized on it with every web project so far.  Once you use it, it is hard to go back to using other code gen tools or creating your own DAL from scratch.  Does anyone still do that anyway?

Hopefully see you there!
