What is ASP.NET MVC?
• A new Web Application Project type• Simply an option• Not a replacement for WebForms• Builds on top ASP.NET• Manual vs Automatic Transmission
How was it developed?• Transparently• Regular source code releases on CodePlex• Previews 1 – 5, Beta, RC1, RC2. 8 releases!• Community feedback via forums,
StackOverflow, etc…• Agilely• 94% Code Coverage/1051 unit tests• Daily Triage Meetings and weekly design
meetings• Small agile team

Framework Goals
• Frictionless Testability• Tight control over markup• User/SEO friendly URLs• Leverage the benefits of ASP.NET• Conventions and Guidance
Separation Of Concerns
• Each component has one responsibility• SRP – Single Responsibility Principle• DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself
• More easily testable• Helps with concurrent
development
Extensible
• Replace any component of the system• Interface-based architecture• Very few sealed methods / classes
• Plays well with others
WebForms are great …
• Mature, proven technology• Huge Third Party Control
Ecosystem• Scalable• Extensible• Familiar feel to WinForms
developers
… they have problems
• Abstractions aren’t very abstract• Difficult to test• Lack of control over markup• It does things you didn’t tell it to
do
