OVERVIEW
The Forces at Work
PCs (Windows)
Web & Cloud
Devices
Windows Rich Client Development
• Don’t Panic! Windows “Desktop” appears to be alive and well!– In fact, we have seen more WPF development in recent
months than ever!– Looking at historic trends, we expect this to stay that
way for a long time to come• Windows 8 is off to a bit of a slow start• WinRT has gotten off to a slow start– It will be interesting to see how this will develop over
time– Have you seen Stardock’s ModernMix app?
Windows “Blue”
• The next version of Windows is currently codenamed “Blue”
• Solid information about “Blue” is hard to find– More information expected at BUILD (June)
• Likely Themes:– Internet Explorer 11?– Windows 8.1?– Improvements to Modern Apps and Start Screen?– More love for the Desktop and the return of the
Start Button?
Web & Cloud
• HTML5 (and related technologies) are gaining momentum rapidly…
• …and are growing up in terms of capabilities• Apps are moving beyond a single device scope• Microsoft is investing heavily into new
developments around the MS web stack
Devices
• Largely an iOS and Android world– Trends continue and market shares seem to be
relatively well established• Windows Phone is gaining some momentum,
but is still way behind the two big platforms• Other efforts (remember Blackberry? ) are
not overly successful • Hard choice between device specific
development and cross-platform approaches
Visual Studio 2012.2
• Microsoft has been releasing smaller updates to Visual Studio 2012
• “Update 2” has shipped in April 2013• Includes various improvements across the board– Agile development, quality control,…– ASP.NET– Windows development – Phone development– And lots more…
WEB AND HTML
A Microsoft View of the Web
• ASP.NET keeps pushing forward– MVC is well established, but WebForms is alive
and well– The two technologies are moving closer together
• The ASP.NET platform continues to be a viable and productive way to develop great web applications!
ASP.NET Core Web Technologies
• Visual Studio 2012• .Net 4.5• MVC 4• Web API• Web Forms 4.5• SignalR
What is new in ASP.NET MVC?
• Async Controllers• Single Page Application (SPA) Templating and
Tooling• MVC Mobile Templates• Facebook Integration• Integration with Azure
What is new in ASP.NET WebForms?
• Model Binding• Unobtrusive Javascript• HTML 5 Updates• Support for async
WEB TECHNOLOGY
Demo
The State of HTML5
• HTML5 is looking more and more like one of the winners of the “UI technology battle”– That doesn’t mean that other technologies aren’t viable,
but HTML5 certainly has widespread support
• HTML5 is used both as native HTML deployed to servers and accessed by browsers…
• …as well as a platform used as the basis for proprietary implementations
HTML5 Triad
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function () { $('#editCustomer').hide(); });
CSS3
html { background-color: #e2e2e2; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
HTML5
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <link href="Site.css" …/> <script src="jquery.js"></script></head> <body id="body" >
HTML5 Triad
• HTML5–Browser support accelerating– Excellent mobile device support– Found everywhere
• CSS3–Advanced element selection–Visual effects–Allows for Responsive design
RESPONSIVE DESIGN
Demo
HTML5 Triad
• JavaScript–Client side utility–Visual frameworks–Authoring tools
TypeScript
• TypeScript is Anders Heijlsberg’s new project• Builds on top of JavaScript and addresses
many JavaScript pain points without removing its advantages
TYPESCRIPT
Demo
Services
• Services remain as important as ever• WCF is a viable approach to building all kinds
of services– …including REST and JSON
• ASP.NET WebAPI is a new alternative for REST
ASP.NET WebAPI
• Miscrosoft’s RESTful offering• Different Hosting Offerings• Supports Popular JSON format• The future “glue” to bind WebForms and MVC
together• Start to the SOA Path
Data
Data Access
Service Logic
Web Desktop Mobile
MICROSOFT WEBAPI
Demo
CLOUD
Microsoft Cloud Development
• More than just a place to host a Service!• IaaS offerings recently expanded and improved• SaaS offerings for Web and Mobile applications• PaaS offerings still the bedrock of Azure
AZURE
Demo
TFS in the Cloud
• Great for small businesses• Great way for larger companies to get started
with TFS– Transition a team away from SVN– Test the service, then migrate to TFS2012 on site!
• Tight integration with Azure– Build a service, then drop directly in to a service
account– Build a web application, and deploy
• Web Portal is much improved over TFS2010
TFS IN THE CLOUD
Demo
MOBILE DEVELOPMENT
Mobile Development
• iOS and Android remain the big players…• …but Windows Phone has gained market
share– And is easy to add into the mix if you already are a
Microsoft developer
Mobile Development
• Hybrid or Native
Framework APIs
Mobile Development
• Hybrid– One code base for all OS– Styling and convention is on you
• Native– Multiple code bases– Best performance– Styling and convention provided
HYBRID APPLICATION
Demo
NATIVE APPLICATION
Demo
Windows Phone 8
• Windows Phone 8 is based on the same technology as Windows 8
• Development using the WP8 SDK is still very similar to WP7x development– In other words: XAML
WINDOWS PHONE 8
Demo
Windows 8 & WinRT
• This was the focus of previous State of .NET events (recordings are available)– We also have a 1-day training event coming up
• Not much new to announce at this point
WINRT
Demo
CODE FRAMEWORK
CODE Framework
• Professional development framework focusing on productivity, maintainability, reuse, and multi-platform developmnt
• CODE Framework is entirely free and open-source!
• Get it from: http://codeframework.codeplex.com
Why Another Framework?
• Making it easier and more productive to work in modern business scenarios
• Support for development areas that have gone unaddressed so far– Example: Development of the visual part of the UI
in a productive and reusable fashion
• Combine with existing frameworks, tools, and technologies.
CODE FRAMEWORK
