An Experiment in Scotch

It’s ALIVE! This is a suc­cess for Microsoft and the ASP.Net MVC team. The soft­ware is solid, does what it is sup­posed to and doesn’t get in the way of the devel­oper. It makes it easy to test, it’s exten­si­ble and it makes writ­ing web pages fun. I wrote a web­site back in Novem­ber using it and com­pleted it in a week­end. It was noth­ing spe­cial but it worked, it had plenty of tests and it didn’t have any hid­den gotchas that took me 2 days to fig­ure out like Sil­verlight does. For most rea­son­able web sites, ASP.Net MVC is a great way to them on the Microsoft platform.

I’ve got another web­site I want to write over the next few weeks that I was going to do in Pylons but I may do it in ASP.Net MVC instead, just to get a feel of the 1.0 release.
