ASP.NET MVC 2 for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 Available Now

Just wanted to let you know that we announced the General Availability of ASP.NET MVC 2 for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 via a post on Scott Guthrie’s blog recently.

To give you a quick brief, ASP.NET MVC is a free, fully-supported framework that enables developers to quickly build standards-based, SEO-friendly Web sites by offering complete control over the HTML and URLs. It also eases collaboration, development and management by enabling a clean separation of the functional areas and facilitating test driven development.

ASP.NET MVC 2 introduces extensible client side validation, enhanced model validation and asynchronous controllers and lots of other features that help developers build Web sites and applications faster.

Some of the benefits of ASP.NET MVC are:

• Helps developers build Web sites and applications faster by introducing extensible client side validation, enhanced model validation, asynchronous controllers, and several other key features
