ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released

  • Article

Today at the Microsoft MIX09 conference in Las Vegas, Scott Guthrie (a Vice President in the Microsoft Developer Division) announced the RTM release of ASP.NET MVC 1.0. Documentation for MVC is live on MSDN. This documentation includes tutorials, walkthroughs, concepts, sample code, and API reference topics.

ASP.NET MVC is a Web application framework based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. Its purpose is to help you develop modular Web applications that isolate the presentation, logic, and data layers. This makes the application easier to test and maintain. MVC also inherently supports Test Driven Development (TDD).

The following table is taken from the MVC roadmap topic on MSDN, which is organized by user scenario. This table provides links to MVC-related content not only on MSDN but also content available on the ASP.NET community Web site and various blog sites.
