Microsoft MVC Framework

Alt.Net has definitely has generated the hype and excitement (well, at least for me). I heard in ScottGu's lecture thing I wanted to hear for quite long:

  • Front Controller implemented
    • Requests are routed to Controllers
  • Interface based request/response and the WHOLE framework - love it!
  • Pluggable (Windsor, Spring)
  • Testability and mocking baked in (NUnit, MbUnit, etc)
  • Seems like the most of Design Principles were considered
  • URL flexibility - mapping to controller with a friendly external names
    • Tokenized string (!!! Tokens - later about it)
  • Controllers, Models, and Views are organized in folder structure (I can hear Glen saying "Yes!")

Highly recommended to watch the video.
