Getting to grips with MVC

"MVC is a pattern, is well documented and has in fact been around since at least the early 80's. ASP.Net MVC is a framework developed solely for asp.net from Microsoft."

This is a point that needs to be stated more often!

MVP/MVC have been used in webforms by many of us for ages.

However, I do see the need for MVC(framework); to fill the accessibility and support for web standards void that web forms misses.

However, those of us who need to build B2B, highly functional, web based applications with a very select audience, these things don't matter as much as the rich hierachy model of web forms.

@bobo - Thanks for your comments. Personally I am just looking into MVC to see what it is all about, I guess time will tell wether it is a success or not. I didn't know about testing for regular web forms in framework 4. Do you have any web links I can look at?

MVC is USELESS bacause:

1) No REACH user controls without page state support. MVC web is DEAD on arrival!

2) Easy teastability coming to REGULAR web forms, wait for framework 4. If you can not wait use custom MVP.

3) In M$ one hand does not know what other does, buy YHOO, sell MVC, buy MVP, sell all, buy MOSS... blaa

NOF said!
