Last Thursday I had a good time giving lectures to the North Dallas. Net user group for a few hours. I have discussed two topics:

ASP. NET 2.0 tips and tricks

This lecture discusses ASP. net ui, Ajax, caching and deployment, as well as the skills and tricks related to Visual Studio 2005. Click here to download related handouts and Demo code.

To learn more about how to optimize the build performance of Visual Studio, read this post I wrote earlier. You can also browse my previous posts archived under the "tips and tricks" tab, from which you can find many posts about ASP. NET and Visual Studio skills and tricks.

Construct a data-driven web application using LINQ

This lecture will give an overview of the cool new LINQ technology that will be released next year. It will also give some demos on the significant improvement in ASP. NET productivity. Click here to download related handouts and Demo code.

You can read some of my previous post on LINQ to learn more about LINQ and how to use it in ASP. NET. Below are some posts worth reading:

• Building and using a LINQ for SQL class library with ASP. NET 2.0
• Building a photo tagging application using ASP. NET 2.0, LINQ, and Atlas
• Use LINQ in ASP. NET)
• Using dlinq with ASP. NET
• Dlinq with Stored Procedures
• Understanding LINQ to SQL query translations

Once again, I would like to thank everyone who participated in my lecture! I would also like to express my special thanks to Scott dockenddorf and rob Howard for inviting me to be a guest.

Scott
