You have learned for years how to do big enterprise applications with big enterprise frameworks. Sometimes it was good, but sometimes it was over-engineered, rarely fun. It changed a lot a few years ago with Asp.Net Mvc and with a lot of impulse of the community. But today, the web moves faster and faster, and people want tools that do the job in a simple way and that just works. Today we have these tools in .Net and they grow every day for our pleasure. Get an overview of why you should care about Simplicity and how you can build great web apps in a simpler way with small frameworks and tools "that just work" (with pieces of NancyFx, SimpleData, RavenDb, Nuget, jQuery, Markdown, Bootstrapper, ...) Slides of my #Web.Net conference 2012 in Milano cheers!

1. Simplicity
Compose modern web apps with
efficient tiny frameworks & tools
Rui Carvalho/@rhwy

2. Thanks to the sponsors

4. Web

6. Background
“Should I really care?”

8. The nature
of the Web
“ how desktop techniques doesn’t
fit interconnected application
needs ”

9. The web is documents
…
The web is not objects

10. The Domain
Problem
“ how humans need to talk more”

11. Customer needs ‘Foo’

12. …You think schema ‘Bar’

13. …Don’t think schema
too hard…

14. Over engineered?

15. Hexagonal, Onion?

16. Concrete
Application?

17. I misunderstood
“Architecture is about an intent, it’s not
about a technical framework”

19. Node

20. So, what is

21. Responsive

22. Cross Media

23. Patterns of Modern
Web Applications

24. SPA*
*Single page application
(ie : gmail)

25. SPA

26. SPAA

27. REST
“Your API
Is your APP”

28. REST

29. Tools!
(for what?)

30. Get the shell
back!

31. Curl
Everything you need to test your app is here!
-X [GET|POST…]
-I (include headers)
-d key=value

32. Nuget
Package management is essential
Enterprise grade => build your own
Quite multi-platform

33. Nuget
(for Mac lovers)
curl http://nuget.org/nuget.exe -L -k -o nuget.exe
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
mono --runtime=v4.0 /usr/local/bin/NuGet.exe $*

34. (nuget powered)
Chocolatey
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy
unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object
net.webclient).DownloadString('http://bit.ly/psChoc
Install'))" && SET
PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%chocolateybin
> Cinst ruby

35. See what
append
(live)

37. Chrome dev tools

38. Editors
Webstorm
Chose a good tool also for the client side!

39. Online web editors
Jsfiddle.com Jsbin.net Plnkr.co Codepen.io
C9.io

40. Frameworks!

41. Frameworks ?

42. Frameworks ?

oss projects -most of the time-
fits real user needs
tiny oss projects usually fit
one need, but do it well.

44. jQuery

45. jQuery

46. Angular
Html enhanced for web apps!

47. Angular

49. Less css
dotLess for .Net

50. Nancy fx

51. RavenDB

52. Simple.Data

53. SignalR
(Socket.io like framework for .Net)

54. So what?

55. “if you don’t love it, it gonna fail!”
