Presentation Abstract

ASP.NET MVC is an option for developing websites based on the Model View Controller design pattern using core ASP.NET and IIS features.  After a brief introduction, we’ll delve into the latest features – NuGet, scaffolding, Razor, HTML5 integration, validation, and more.  We’ll also touch on what’s new with Entity Framework 4.1, including options for quickly developing ASP.NET MVC sites with data-, model-, and code-first approaches.
