• ASP.NET MVC – Microsoft’s new web development framework has got the .NET world excited – but what’s it like to use? How does it compare with classic ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, and other web development platforms? In this session we build a small application, using MVC architecture, clean URLs, domain-driven design (DDD), tight HTML, and straightforward Ajax. We’ll make use of the new features coming soon in ASP.NET MVC v2, including strongly-typed UI templating and model validation.

• Attacking and defending an ASP.NET MVC site If you’re developing for the web, you can’t afford to ignore security. In this session we’ll consider the attack vectors that apply to all web development platforms – not only ASP.NET MVC – including cross-site request forgery (CSRF), cross-site scripting (XSS), click hijacking, and several others. After demonstrating each attack in operation, we’ll see how to secure our ASP.NET MVC application against it. Plus, we’ll consider one or two common security pitfalls that are specific to ASP.NET MVC itself.
