I had a chance to give a talk on ASP.NET MVC 3, Razor and jQuery today at a company and wanted to post the slides and demos from the talk. The focus was on getting started with ASP.NET MVC 3 projects and .cshtml files including creating pages using the new Razor syntax (which I personally love….never going back to the Web Forms View Engine) as well as working with jQuery. Topics covered in the demos (download below) include:

• Binding form data to custom object properties
• Validating a model using data annotations and IValidatableObject
• Integrating jQuery into MVC sites (using the DataTables plugin)
• Using the new WebGrid class to generate tables with sorting and paging functionality
• Integrating Silverlight applications into MVC sites
• Exposing JSON data from a controller action and consuming it in Silverlight
• Using the Ajax helper to add AJAX functionality (without jQuery)

The code and slides from the talk can be downloaded here.
