• This is pre-release... keep that in mind
• IT'S NOT WEBFORMS 4.0
• Creating a new project
• Must select .NET 3.5 from the multi-targeting combobox
• You can generate test against any testing framework that supports it (including NUnit/MbUnit)
• System.Web.Mvc/Routing/Abstractions
• Routing not under MVC - can be used outside of MVC
• Abstractions also not under MVC - can be used for other Web "stuff"
• Convention over configuration
• URI determines which controller gets called
• URI parts make up parameters that are passed to the controller
• IT'S NOT WEBFORMS 4.0
• It's about alternatives.  You choose.  It's awesome.
• "ALT.NET" (N*)
• It's part of System.Web... it's not going anywhere.
• Plays well with other N* stuff (Brail, etc. too)
• Goals
• Separate concerns:  TDD, maintenance
• Extensible
• Enable clean URLs & HTML
• Great integration w/ ASP.NET
• Rude Q&A
• LOB - no, keep truckin' on WebForms
• Front controller
• Widgets? Component story?  "We're working on it..."
• Yes, Ajax, no control toolkit (yes JS libraries)
• Released when?  When it's done...
• Is it safe?  What about security?
• My battery is dying... over and out.
