The ASP.NET MVC Framework
By: Scott Allen

The ASP.NET MVC framework is an alternative framework for building web applications with ASP.NET. In this introduction to the new framework, we will see how the Model View Controller design pattern helps us to maintain a separation of concerns and produce testable, maintainable software. We will also look at the URL routing system and discuss the implications of the new framework for .NET web developers.
