ASP.NET MVC Framework

Some interesting news seems to be coming out of the Alt.NET Conference in Austin. I’d got a few IM’s from folks at the conference talking about Scott Guthrie’s talk. According to Jeff Palermo’s blog, Scott Guthrie showed off a new ASP.NET MVC Framework. This looks very interesting and might well tempt me back into ASP.NET development. I really like parts of ASP.NET but that whole postback / viewstate thing just confused me. I was used to doing web applications the hard way and having this abstracted away from me into a semi-winform like representation of a web page just got in my way when building sites. It also made them pretty hard to unit test.

Having used (and even written) a few MVC frameworks in the past, I’m really interested to see what it is all about. Looking forward for some more information soon. Jeff’s post has a few tantilising details which make me thing this is exactly what I want from ASP.NET.
