Deeper in .NET 2005


A coworker just pointed out a few upcoming events sponsored by the Wisconsin .NET Users Group, including a Deeper in .NET 2005 event with a fairly impressive cast of speakers on March 5...

There's no agenda or list of topics yet, though by browsing the credentials of the speakers it's a safe bet there'll be some ASP.NET coverage. My first effort with ASP.NET was a little painful; while I found it pretty easy to use, everything round-tripped to the server and I wound up sprinkling in generous amounts of JavaScript to try and smarten up the client. The end result worked fine from the end-user's perspective, but it felt very kludgy to me. For unrelated reasons, I'm getting the opportunity to redo significant parts of that project using a "smart" client coded in C#.

I'm happy with that; I don't like sending a browser to do a GUI's work.

Whether it turns out to be ASP.NET focused or not, I registered for the Deeper in .NET event. Free registration, what the heck. I'll write up my thoughts about it some time after March 5th.
