DotNetNuke Module Development with the MVP Pattern
This session focuses on introducing attendees to the Model-View-Presenter pattern, support for
which was recently introduced in the DotNetNuke Core. We'll start with a quick overview of the
pattern, compare it to MVC, and then dive right into code. We will start with fundamentals and
then develop a full-featured module using this pattern. In order to do justice to the pattern,
we will use ASP.NET WebForms controls minimally and implement most of the UI using jQuery
plug-ins. Finally, to increase audience participation (both present at the meeting and remote),
we will use a hackathon-style model and allow anybody, anywhere to follow along with the
presentation and code their own MVP-based solution that they can share online during or after
the session. A URL with full instructions for the hackathon will be posted online a few days
prior to the meeting.
