MVC started in 1979 for SmallTalk programming and has become a widely used architectural pattern for web applications using Visual Studio. Recently, MSFT announced MVC 4 would be open source with contributions from the developer community. Are you an avid MVC developer? Maybe you are considering using MVC? Come discuss what it was like to change from web forms to MVC. How is the architecture different between these two approaches? Can you "port" a web forms application? What about managing security? Is ASP.NET Membership still a viable option? Many people use jQuery on the client in MVC based applications. Has jQuery worked for you? Come join what is sure to be a lively discussion on these and many other MVC topics. Tell your friends and colleagues at home to watch the live broadcast and participate on Twitter using #bofdev.

It seems to be common sense that software needs to be intuitive, user-friendly & aesthetically pleasing. Have you had to sell UX improvements to your company? How did you demonstrate ROI?

It's no secret that there is much disagreement as to what constitutes "development" in SharePoint, with everyone from Power Users to seasoned MVPs packaging custom features laying claim to the title. Who is right? Do you have to use Visual Studio to be considered a true SharePoint "Dev"? What about the explosion of client-side "no code" solutions that can be applied using only SharePoint Designer? In this sure-to-be-controversial session, we aim for constructive dialog between both sides and an expanded understanding of the positions of each. Tell your friends and colleagues at home to watch the live broadcast and participate on Twitter using #bofdev.

Windows Azure has been available long enough for developers to "kick the tires" and determine if it is a technology that can be used in their next project. Are you one of the people that has explored or used Azure? What did you determine? Did you decide to use it in a real life application, or did you decide it didn't fit your needs or wasn't ready for prime time? Did you end up using a competing technology like Amazon Web Service? If so, why? Maybe you are still in the "curious" stage and want to ask some questions of your peers with Azure experience. Come join the open discussion on Windows Azure to share your experiences and get answers to your questions.
