Topic 2 – Introduction to Jasper – Rapidly Application Development using Dynamic ADO.NET
Developers spend significant amount of time on writing code for data access and binding the data to the UI controls. It would have been a great boost to developer productivity if effort spend on data access and binding to UI controls can be significantly reduced.
Project Jasper is an incubation effort in the ADO.NET team to enable quick, clean and iterative development with instant results. Project Jasper provides this functionality by leveraging the ADO.NET Entity Framework and the power of dynamic languages. With project Jasper you can drag and drop standard ASP.NET controls onto a page, set basic properties and your web application will be able to display and edit data without forcing you to write a query or any data access code.
In this talk, you will learn about the key concepts behind Project Jasper, and how this upcoming technology can empower you to build next-generation applications quickly.
