    This post is a mile high overview of the history of ASP.NET MVC, the features it brought with the various versions and the extensibility points introduced. I am starting to work on both a series of webcasts and articles and I was doing some preparatory work, collecting information on the various features and extensibility points that got into the various (official) releases of ASP.NET MVC, so I thought it could have been useful to share my little summary. There have been 3 major official r...

    When you create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 project, the new project wizard dialog contains several options for different MVC project templates: Empty Internet Application Intranet Application (new in the April 2011 Tools update) There’s a lot of white space in that dialog.

    Scott and Phil sit down to talk about the new ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. Have you updated? That button up there will automatically check your system for SP1, as well as get you IIS Express, SQL Compact and basically the whole Web Stack of Love. That's the official install it all button. It's a great way to get a fresh machine ready to develop with. Don't worry, it won't install VS Express if you have VS already. That said, if you're paranoid, you can just download the MVC 3 installer. D...
