MIX 09 had some great announcements for web developers and we designers, I thought I’d post a summary of some of the announcements here so you can follow up on those that interest you. This Week on Channel9 has a great re-cap where they discuss many of these announcements. Check out their video Live from MIX09.
IE8 Releases
ASP.NET MVC 1.0
Two weeks ago at MIX we released ASP.NET MVC 1.0. ASP.NET MVC is a free, fully supported, Microsoft product that enables developers to easily build web applications using a model-view-controller pattern. ASP.NET MVC provides a “closer to the metal” web programming option for ASP.NET. It enables full control over HTML markup and URL structure, and facilitates unit testing and a test driven development workflow.
