ENT News | at | by Mike
More than a year after its first community technology preview was released, ASP.NET Model View Controller has finally shipped.
Microsoft Corporate Senior Vice President Scott Guthrie announced the release of ASP.NET MVC 1.0 in his opening day keynote address at the MIX09 event in Las Vegas last week. The MVC tooling is available for download from the Microsoft Web site here.
Running atop the ASP.NET 3.5 runtime, ASP.NET MVC allows Visual Studio 2008 developers to take advantage of design patterns that enable a clear separation of concerns among underlying data, user interface and application logic roles. The resulting approach isolates application behaviors, enabling adoption of test-driven development and yielding more maintainable and reusable code.
