ViewEngines at Chicago ALT.NET

Posted by Sergio on 2008-10-30

One of the reasons I've been mucking with NHaml is the upcoming meeting of the Chicago ALT.NET group.

The plan is to talk about NHaml and Spark (and maybe Brail), comparing equivalent implementations of a simple website written in ASPX, NHaml and Spark. The meeting is on November 12th, see registration link below for details.

The Different Views of ASP.NET MVC

The default ASPX view engine in ASP.NET MVC is fine and comfortable but as with just about anything in ASP.NET MVC, you can replace it with alternative engines — and there are a few of those available.

We will be giving an overview of some of the alternative view engines, showing how to install and use them, what brought them about, and why would you use them.

You may want to stick around after the presentation portion of the meeting and take part in our monthly open discussion. The topic is never arranged in advance but it's common that it reflects the content of the presentation.
