Bring on the Carnage!

Get ready, Manitoba, for the web technology smackdown of the year!  Think you're the Most Valuable Coder?  Perhaps you're projects are always on track? We're putting your toolkit to the test!

On January 25, 2012 at 5:30pm, the Winnipeg .Net User Group is hosting the ultimate smackdown: Asp.Net MVC is going toe-to-toe with Ruby on Rails. Mark the date on your calendar!  The event takes place at 100 One Research Road in SMARTPARK Event Centre on the University of Manitoba campus.

You can register online here.

Who's Presenting

Yours truly will be filtering the action from the Asp.Net MVC corner, with Marc Jeanson tossing gems from the Ruby side of the ring. The always entertaining, notepad loving Amir Barylko will be keeping things from getting too out-of-hand as the pro-Ruby host who has a secret crush on c#.

What to Expect

• Major features of each tech tool kit
• Duelling coders on separate projectors
• Bloodshed and bandaging
• A moderator walking you through the code as it's being written
• Wins and losses if you adopt one over the other
• Lots of tomatoes
• Controllers, actions, views, routes, filters, JSON, open source repository integration, deployment
• Seriously, tomatoes

Bring Your Discernment

Yeah, we'll be bringing the smack talk, but we're bringing our brains, too.  We'll have the answers on hand to the questions you dream up.  Stick around afterwards for questions and most likely brew if this thing spills out onto the street!
