I’ve been playing with Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC (Model-View-Controller) application on and off for about a year now. It’s been moving at such a fast pace that it seemed I was always starting over with another install – CTPs, V1 Visual Studio 2008, previews for Visual Studio 2010… And now I’m currently on MVC 2 RC 2 with Visual Studio 2010.
So now that I’m coming up the learning curve, I can see how powerful this is. But I also see that it’s so powerful it is easy to forget what you did to do something. So I plan to start a series of posts that will allow me to “remember” what I’ve done in an easy to consume fashion. I hope others will find it helpful too. As I go along I’ll actually be creating an MVC Gallery with tips I pick up. I pretty much never figure out how to do these on my own, so I’ll provide links to the original sites I used as well.
I’m sure it will be slow-going based on my past experience, but I think I’m ready to begin. I guess the final piece that I’m missing to provide the sense of urgency I really want is an ability to post my work. I’ve deployed two MVC .NET 4.0 applications, but only on machines I controlled… and none of those are on the internet. I need to have .NET 4.0 installed so that I can use the ASP.NET v4.0 application pool in IIS. Neither of my hosting companies have that at the time of this post. My motivation will be much higher when I actually go live with one of the apps.
