Colin Bowern, "The Not-So-Scary Side of ASP.NET - Model View Controller in the Real World"

With MVC stretching far back in the programming history books to languages like Smalltalk in recent years we have been seeing a resurgence in the popularity of this approach. With a recognition of the growing popularity of both the MVC pattern and the benefits of scaffolding in quickly developing and deploying professional applications Microsoft introduced the ASP.NET MVC web framework. It delivers choice and control to ASP.NET developers beyond the already diverse field of languages they could use (you know someone out there is getting a kick out of writing Web apps in COBOL).  In this session we will do a fly over of the ASP.NET MVC web framework to give you an introduction into its riches, tell you how you can get yours hands out it without spending a dime and open up the conversation to see how it stacks up against other options on the market.  Our goal is to get you familiar with choices available to you to broaden your skills in delivering professional web applications quickly into all types of environments.
