She studied Management at the University of Southampton. This month she is concentrating her efforts on TalkIT social media platforms and working towards attracting and retaining relevant audience. Eleni is working towards a long-term goal of generating sales for TalkIT.
MVC Seminar
Earlier this month, TalkIT gave a seminar on MVC at the University of Bath. 11 University of Bath students attended the event. MVC forms one of ASP.NET programming models and can be a basis for developing web applications using the Model View Controller. The components of the model are: Model: manages business logic classes and data access View: renders model objects with client-slide intelligence
Controller: Handles incoming requests then chooses a view to render Some of the benefits of using MVC are that
- It encourages separation of presentation and application logic
- Reusable and consistent model classes for application logic
- It employs rich features of the NET platform
The students enjoyed the seminar and gave an overall positive feedback. They emphasized that they mostly enjoyed the actual code demonstration. For more information on our MVC courses go to : https://www.talk-it.biz/asp-net-mvc4-marketing-page/
