The Progressive .NET Tutorials returns to Skills Matter after the successful conference in May 2012. For all the latest on speakers and presentations follow us on Twitter - @skillsmatter and #prognet.

The Progressive .NET Tutorials are a deep-dive, the antidote to the traditional conference format where speakers have too little time to explain complex ideas or provide any depth of understanding. Over the course of 3 days, the Progressive .NET Tutorials offer a dozen four-hour sessions, allowing the speaker time to explore a topic in depth.

This year's theme: Single Page Applications (SPA)
SPA applications have become the next big thing, with MS even introducing template support for building them in Visual Studio. But for many people a SPA application still remains a mystery and the choice of libraries overwhelming. At this Progressive.NET we hope to help you understand what a SPA app is, and delve into some of the choices you have in implementing one. In addition, we will have a more general track that offers tutorials, as always, on best practice for .NET developers. If you want to understand the 'state of the art' our mission is to help you.
