Philly Code Camp 2009

I just left Philly this morning after a hugely successful Code Camp. Everything came together perfectly for the event from the coffee to the code. I had a great time getting to meet so many passionate devs and was really impressed with the local community. So a big thanks to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting in Philly. Keep up the good work guys (Bill, Andrew, Marc and so many more).

As I promised during my session, I am posting my source code. I will be updating this post (or maybe writing a full tutorial) with more complete information. In case you didn't make it to my session, here is the gist of it...

Building an iPhone Feed Reader with ASP.NET

Since everyone and their Mom has an iPhone, we need to start building web apps that work (well) on them. We will be taking a look at a few techniques for developing iPhone-ready websites. Then we will dive into using ASP.NET to build a working iPhone-optimized web app. The app will be an iPhone feed reader that consumes RSS in .NET and renders UI that looks and behaves like native iPhone UI. We will also build a settings page in the app that lets the end user customize their feed reader. The entire app will be an ASP.NET website built in Visual Studio 2008. By the end of this session you will be ready to build an iPhone version of your ASP.NET project without ever leaving Visual Studio.
