ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta
And finally, one last PDC keynote announcement from the first day was the beta release of ASP.NET MVC 2. MVC is a model-view-controller framework on top of the existing ASP.NET runtime that separates display and application logic as well as makes test-driven development of ASP.NET applications easier. MVC could be used with a variety of types of web applications but is frequently associated with REST applications.
The ASP.NET MVC 2 beta is currently only supported on .Net 3.5. This is because the MVC 2 beta shares a common component with a different version from Visual Studio 2010 beta 2. You currently need to try ASP.NET MVC 2 together with Visual Studio 2008.
