.Net and MVC4
yesterday Thomas shared about MVC4 (beta) at Codeaholics
he did a demonstration on generating a new CRUD web application and a set of HTTP web API.
it was nice !
it just copied most of the tools/design from Ruby On Rails and the IDE is even better than those for Rails.
although the controller code is still too verbose
and the community to build library (gems) is not as active as Ruby one
but it is really a good move for Microsoft developers (most of them get stuck in the big enterprisy company, learning nothing new except politics) to know more about the best practices to develop Web application
Play on Scala
Another funny thing was that ... Jacob was sharing about Play and the code base turned out to be so similar to those written by Thomas !
yes ! the syntax of Scala on Play and .Net on MVC4 was so similar
It is good !
Both framework picked a lots of popular features/design from Ruby On Rails and it is good ! more and more best practices being found and recognized by all the coding community. It makes software better and coders are easier to pick up another tech stack.
Thanks all the speakers !
special thanks to Jacob who was just visiting Hong Kong and spent some time sharing coding things with our local community !
