I’ve been aware of asp.net mvc for some time now. I avoided it for few reasons, first it was not complete, but that wouldn’t stop me before. Secondly, it was C# exclusively, I prefer to take .Net in VB variant and I figured if Microsoft would take it so far to make it just C#, I might not want to learn about it. There is this thing about c# in MS where they think they are better developers or something…
Anyway. Since I did peek at C# version, I think this newer release ‘Preview 5′ is much more simpler and easier to work with. A lot of improvements can be seen. All the good things about MVC are exposed and I get impression that all the good things about asp.net are made available as well. I am totally ready to use it for projects and development, if I could just find a client to volunteer.
It is inspired by RoR and that is totally cool with me (RoR didn’t invent MVC, in fact I think Cold Fusion Fusebox was one of the first good takes on that but that is another story). I wouldn’t mind if they could pick more from RoR like migrations, but what is there already is fine and more then enough for work.
Testing is there, I didn’t try it but it seems to be pretty much standard thing and that is great, it is probably the first time this is the case in Microsoft product.
I am sure this is just the beginning of really great framework and I personally am looking forward to use it in my work.
