Project DescriptionThe Open Source ASP.NET MVC Project that runs http://www.nerddinner.com and helps nerds and computer people plan get-togethers.
This project's goal is to create the best website for Technology People to host their Lunches, Flashmobs, Dinners and informal get-togethers.
The first release was as a sample for the first chapter of Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0. We're working on the ASP.NET MVC 2.0 book now.
As of April 2010, we are currently in the process of updating the source to ASP.NET MVC 2 and adding a bunch of social features. You can get the source from the
Source Code tab above if you like, or wait for a formal release in the next few weeks.
You can download a 185-page free PDF walkthrough loaded with code and screenshots at http://tinyurl.com/aspnetmvc.You can see the site running LIVE at http://www.nerddinner.com.Phil Hey has
