Description

The topic of the evening will be broken into three parts. The first section will tackle creation and usage of data transfer objects (basic classes to aid in the transfer of information from one section of an application to another). The second section will expand upon the entity framework discussion, demonstrating architecture involving data transfer objects to take advantage of the data returned from the entities. The last section will demonstrate the end result of the first two sections, and show new methods of sending and displaying this information on the client using the magnificent knockout.js.

We look forward to seeing everyone at ECPI on August 16th!
