Guiding Principles for an ASP.NET MVC Application
Although the release of the ASP.NET MVC is still relatively new, many of the patterns and principles surrounding the framework have been around for a long time. In this session, I want to demonstrate the principles you should follow when working with the MVC framework. These principles are not rules, but ideals and values you should cherish and keep in the forefront of your mind when building MVC applications that need to survive and evolve beyond a single release. We'll talk about separation of concerns, look at trouble free controllers, and see how to keep views plain and simple.
