ASP.NET MVC
Join the Tampa ASP.NET MVC Developer Group for
their next meeting on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at
6:30pm at the Microsoft Office in Tampa, Florida.

This month’s meeting is about building a rich user experience in ASP.NET
MVC Web Applications.

The first half of the meeting will be presented by David Hayden and will
focus on using the ASP.NET MVC Futures Assembly, MvcContrib, and the
built-in AjaxHelpers in ASP.NET MVC to help build UI’s for your applications.

The second half of the meeting will be presented by Jay Kimble. Jay will
demonstrate a mini-mint personal finance tracking application he built using
jQuery with ASP.NET MVC. The application demonstrates the power of
jQuery Selectors, jQuery UI Components, and jQuery AJAX to provide a rich
user experience in your ASP.NET MVC Web Applications.
