I found an one-stop resource for asp.net mvc
Hi folks, for last two years I am working on WPF, WPF Browser Application, WCF and all those fancy stuff. It’s not that I am working willingly, but because I had to do this since our company’s products have been developed using these technologies so I had no other choice.
Recently I am a little bit free and looking forward to explore what’s happening around .net and the new technologies by Microsoft. A simple thing catches my attention is the “asp.net mvc”. We did not have any such thing in Microsoft product line when we started to develop web applications back in 2002 when Microsoft launched .net framework for the first time. We had to develop and implement MVC on our own.
My friends and colleagues informed me that Microsoft has this brand new technology called asp.net mvc which is a new addition to asp.net era. But I have never been that much free to explore what is inside and how much improvement is done to this sector. well I’m late to catch up things about the latest improvement, as it’s summer and time to go out and explore new things I choose asp.net mvc.
The story is about the new one-stop web resource for asp.net mvc is www.asp.net.mvc its part of www.asp.net. Let me tell you something, it’s all a starter developer can ever imagine of. Here are some of the features of the site that amazed me
The home page tag is something like this
“
ASP.NET MVC enables us to build Model View Controller (MVC) applications by using the ASP.NET framework. ASP.NET MVC is an alternative, not a replacement, for ASP.NET Web Forms that offers the following benefits:
- Clear separation of concerns
- Testability - support for Test-Driven Development
- Fine-grained control over HTML and JavaScript
- Intuitive URLs
“
really clear what asp.net mvc is for.
Next surprise package is for the starter developer or perhaps i can say its independent of any range of developer and expertise. It got all type of learning resource i.e.
- ASP.NET MVC Tutorials
- ASP.NET MVC Videos
- MVC Design Gallery
- ASP.NET MVC Sample Applications
- Who is using ASP.NET MVC?
- ASP.NET MVC Blog Posts
I can start by reading tutorials where I have a lot of articles about almost every important learning goal, if I got bored with reading, I can switch to watch videos, or perhaps then I can see some sample applications directly to get things going. When I have a little bit advanced knowledge, I can start reading the blogs and go to forums for questions and answers.
To me another interesting thing is the design gallery that encompasses a range of cool web templates those are really helpful for the developers and everyday people are contributing to make it richer that is really encouraging. I bet I don’t have to go any where else other than this www.asp.net/mvc resource site. I bet too that no other technology is that much simple to work with. Just think about the ease it’s providing for development environment, it got “Microsoft web platform Installer” just a single installation and every thing is in reach.
So it’s time to get busy with learning asp.net mvc. happy coding and best of luck.
