CTP

ASP.NET MVC

March 10th, 2008

Microsoft released a new MVC extension for ASP.NET which allows users to build asp.net applications using the MVC framework.

A little about MVC:
The MVC framework enables you to easily implement the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern for Web applications. This pattern lets you separate applications into loosely coupled, pluggable components for application design, processing logic, and display.

To makes things easier, the release was accompany with a serious of nice videos given by Scott Hanselman. Even though this new framework is very new (and experimental I must add), there are some nice thing there that I’m sure will become a part of the next LINQ version.

ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP

December 14th, 2007

The ASP.NET guys at Microsoft released their first ASP.NET 3.5 Extension which includes some cool features like Dynamic Data Support (watch this cool video), Silverlight Support, AJAX Improvements, ASP.NET MVC and more.

I was especially impressed by the dynamic data support which simplifies your data management w/o too much effort. You can read more about the new package features here and to download it here. Try it, its cool.
