Here are the events listed in Community Megaphone for the next week (or so) for the Mid-Atlantic area:

Tuesday, October 07, 2008 6:30 PM: CMAP Main Meeting: ASP.NET MVC - This session will introduce attendees to the new ASP.NET MVC framework while building a real-world application. "Separation of concerns" will be discussed as the Model, View, and Controller concepts will be explained. The MVC framework enables unit testing of the presentation layer which will be emphasized throughout. The presentation will start with an application that follows the traditional post-back model and, over the course of the presentation, convert this application to the MVC framework. This will give attendees a clear "before and after" view that will highlight several aspects of the framework.
