01
One framework, many angles
Sessions move from the request pipeline to data access, from acceptance testing to deployment. The subject stays constant while the problems change.
A focused online program, archived
The craft of ASP.NET MVC, in one focused program.
mvcConf was a virtual event built around ASP.NET MVC. Its program brought framework team members together with working developers for talks on architecture, testing, tooling, and the details that decide whether a codebase stays healthy.
01 What it is
A single subject, treated with range.
The conference was built around one framework, not a broad survey of the industry. That focus gave speakers room to go deep on the parts of application work that teams live with every day.
02
Framework authors and application teams
The roster includes people who work on ASP.NET MVC and people who ship products with it. That mix keeps the conversation practical without losing sight of how the platform is designed.
03
A record that stays available
The conference left a public recording archive. The video index keeps the published talks together and links each one to its original source.
02 Editions
Two editions, one thread.
The public record covers the first two mvcConf events. Both were online, both centred on ASP.NET MVC, and both left a set of recorded talks behind.
July 2010
mvcConf 1
The first edition gathered the community for a focused online program and set the format for what followed.
Feb 2011
mvcConf 2
The second edition arrived soon after ASP.NET MVC 3 shipped and expanded the speaker roster and session list.
Recorded archive
The talks
Every session in the 2011 program has a public recording. The archive keeps the titles, speakers, and links together.
03 Program
A sample from the session list.
The full program moves through REST services, view engines, data access, testing, deployment, and the view layer. These five sessions show the breadth.

Supported by the .NET community.
The conference program received support from platform partners and tooling companies. Their names are part of the public record of the event.
Start with the program. Stay for the detail.
The best way into the archive is the session list. Each entry explains the problem the talk addresses and links to the speaker and the recording.
