In early October, Microsoft released the beta version of ASP.NET MVC framework that implements a pure MVC architectural pattern in contrast to the “Web-forms” model supported in standard ASP.NET. Last week, I spent time investigating ASP.NET MVC and want to share what interesting things and principles are built in the framework.
I composed my presentation as a slidecast using the SlideShare service. The slidecast briefly discusses:
- What features does ASP.NET MVC provide?
- How does an MVC pattern work?
- How to start with MVC projects in VS2008?
It’s my first experience with slidecasts, so any comments are welcome!

As a Rails Developer moving to a .NET company, I wanted to thank you for this post. Hopefully my co-workers will see the advanatage that MVC can bring to a project’s maintainability.
PS. Your first slidecast was great.

Thanks taelor!
As an alternative to Rails, ASP.NET MVC looks really good. Let’s see how it goes. ASP.NET MVC is quite recent Microsoft development, so it may or may not get popular.

Now that ASP.NET MVC 1.0 has been release, Microsoft has published more about MVC on the MSDN Web site. To view the MCV content, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=145989.
