WebMatrix 2 presentation at PHL Hasselt

- less than 1 minute read

Yesterday evening I gave a presentation at Microsoft WebCafe in front of around 120 attendees. The topic I had was WebMatrix 2. Microsoft WebCafe meetings are of a different concept than traditional presentations. It’s fast paced, 10 minutes time boxed sessions with which they try to get the attention of a group of people which usually don’t come to regular sessions or Tech Days.

The stuff I showed during that very limited amount of time was:

  • WebMatrix 2 – the tool (/images/database tooling, reports, requests)
  • Bakery based website (/images/ASP.NET web pages)
  • Plugins (/images/iPhone + iPad)
  • Node.js and debugging capabilities
  • publishing to WAWS + updating of only those changed pages via Web Deploy
  • Less + plugin from orangebits to transform it to css

If you would like to see more about WebMatrix 2 and what it can mean for you be sure to check out the videos about it on WebCamps TV.

If you’re interested in the slide deck I used during my presentation be sure to check out the Downloads page.

Grz, Kris.
