Take a whirlwind tour of all the new features that ASP.NET and Visual Studio have to offer. We’ll build a sample Web application demonstrating the uses of the latest cutting-edge technologies: SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, ASP.NET Dynamic Data, MVC & URL Routing, Entity Framework, ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, and the Silverlight 2.0 controls. In this sample application, we’ll build a time tracking application that handles basic entries that an employee would create to track their hours worked for their company. We will access pre-created database objects via the Entity Framework libraries and perform typical CRUD operation on those objects.
