Presentation presented at the 2015 St. Louis Days of .NET Conference on November 12th, 2015 by Kevin Grossnicklaus of ArchitectNow.
Like many of you we find ourselves constantly pushing the boundary of what types of applications can be built for the modern web. Computers are faster, general internet availability is faster and more readily available, and much more can be done via HTML and JavaScript. With this in mind we are constantly looking for better architectures and frameworks to streamline how we write applications and provide solutions for our clients and our products. Today’s web architectures are becoming increasingly more complex with an increasing amount of code being written in JavaScript and less in a managed language like C# or VB.NET. Plus, a multitude of JavaScript libraries and frameworks are gaining adoption to simplify certain pieces of the puzzle. Buzzwords like Single Page Apps (SPA’s) and Responsive are working their way into various discussions and mean radically different things to different people Rather than start with an “Introduction to MVC” this talk is meant for Intermediate to Advanced web developers who want to see it all put together in something ready for production.
