Do you work with ASP.NET Web Forms? Do you ever wonder if there is a better way of organizing your applications? Do you ever wish it were easier to test things closer to the UI? If so, then perhaps MVC (Model View Controller) is the answer to at least some of your development problems.
MVC is an architectural pattern used to isolate business, data, and interface logic for the purpose of maintainability and testability [Wikipedia]. We will explore these benefits as well as the drawbacks of MVC. Then, after investigating the whys, we will dive into the code to see how it is done in ASP.NET MVC. The examples will demonstrate configuring the Controller and Routing. Of course we be looking at the Model and View. We will discuss the transition from Web Forms to ASP.NET MVC.
