Summary

This firstPress release gives the ASP.NET developer a beta preview of the ASP.NET MVC release due later in 2008. It gives the early adopter a chance to look at the minutiae of the MVC framework, and the official MVC developera (TM)s toolkit that supports it. The ASP.NET Model-View-Controller (MVC) Framework is a widely anticipated extension and improvement to the way that ASP.NET applications are architected and developed. MVC frameworks have been widely and successfully employed in other technology areas, such as Java, for some time. This is Microsofta (TM)s long-awaited version for the .NET framework and community interest is very high.
