Comments on: Why .NET MVC?

I had tried to refer to it as .NET MVC as much as I could. I wouldn’t want to misrepresent MVC as some kind of recent Microsoft invention! I agree with you that it would definitely be good to get some more comparison based content up. This first one just was intended as an intro to the .net implementation. Hopefully we’ll see some more developer content in the future.

I think it would be great to hear how .NET MVC stands up against other MVC-enabled frameworks, such as Ruby On Rails, Struts and Symfony…

Other than that, a well written article.

I agree WebForms is a powerful approach for many and .NET MVC is, in my eyes, definitely an alternative as opposed to a replacement.

Thanks for providing the correct asp.net/mvc link it must have got mixed up in the copy to wordpress. I tried to stuff in as many further info links as possible for the interested reader. Both Scott Gu and Phil Haacks site are excellent resources for keeping up to date and I’d recommend them to all.

I think you cover most of the concerns people have with the Web Forms model (though I feel obliged to point out that many people also use it very successfully day-in, day-out to build great web applications :) ).

ASP.NET MVC has gathered great momentum in a relatively short space of time, not least because it’s so extensible. Don’t like testing framework xyz? That’s okay. Don’t like our view engine? That’s okay. And of course, as you point out, the source for ASP.NET MVC is available under an open source licence.

Allow me to correct your link to the official ASP.NET MVC page which should of course be http://www.asp.net/mvc. Also of interest, Scott Guthrie recently blogged about the features we can expect to see in ASP.NET MVC V2 http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/07/31/asp-net-mvc-v2-preview-1-released.aspx.

The ASP.NET MVC futures project has some nice overloads that let you keep strongly typed urls in your views too. This makes mistyping hyperlinks much harder to do.

Nice summary article Craig!
