One of the things that many people have asked for over the years with ASP.NET is built-in support for developing web applications using a model-view-controller (MVC) based architecture. Last weekend at the Alt.NET conference in Austin I gave the first

The last two days I've been speaking at the the MIX:UK conference that was held this week in London. We had a sold out crowd of 500 people come to learn more about some of the new Microsoft web technologies.
I gave 5 talks at the conference, including the Keynote and 4 breakout talks: Building Silverlight Applications with .NET (Part 1 and 2), and Building ASP.NET 3.5 Applications with VS 2008 (Part 1 and 2). I also had the chance to participate on 2 panels (including a really fun one where we sat around and drank tea, ate biscuits, and discussed technology trends).
Below are the slides + demos from my talks if you are interested in downloading them.
Building Silverlight Applications with .NET (Part 1 and 2)
This two part session drilled into how to build Silverlight 1.1 applications using .NET. I really like the slide + sample approach of this talk (I first gave it at MIX:Hungary in June), and think it provides a really good way to learn the programming concepts of Silverlight 1.1 using .NET.
Note: All samples are built using the current Silverlight 1.1 Alpha and VS 2008 Beta2 with the Silverlight Tools Alpha Installed.
Building ASP.NET Applications using VS 2008 and .NET 3.5 (Part 1 and 2)
This two part session was primarily a demo driven talk that shows off many of the new improvements for ASP.NET with .NET 3.5 and VS 2008.

One last note...
I usually get at least 4-5 emails a week from people asking whether they can re-use some of my slides/samples for their own presentations (or books). My answer to this is always "absolutely!" Please do not worry about asking for permission on this - you can always re-use any of the content from my talks and blog postings (and feel free to re-use slides and decks wholesale). I write this content to help people learn how to use .NET - so you helping spread the information is pure goodness from my perspective (my blog is technically not part of my official job, rather just a side hobby I enjoy and find useful).
Hope this helps,
Scott
