Welcome time: 6:00 PM

Speaker: Aaron Armstrong

Topic: Microsoft's Web MVC Framework

Perhaps you've heard of Ruby on Rails or Castle's MonoRail web development frameworks? The Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Framework provides the advantages of the Model-View-Controller architecture with the support and polish of Microsoft’s .NET platform. We’ll discuss the following topics:

Model-View-Controller architecture

Improvements in testability over traditional ASP.NET

Integration with existing ASP.NET features such as master pages, authentication, and caching

Flexible URL to page mapping

Extensibility of the core—easy to plug in view engines, URL routing policy, etc.
