Haack on MVC3

Phil Haack is giving a talk on what’s new with MVC3.  Even though it’s been out for a while now, I’m sure there are still plenty of developers who haven’t tried it yet.  MVC3 was my first experience with MVC.  I skipped MVC1 and MVC2 while trudging along with web forms and finally decided last December that it was time to make the jump.  A very wise decision, to say the least, and I haven’t looked back.

The first thing to note is the release of the ASP.NET MVC3 Tools Update.  One of the things this introduces is a new project template for intranet applications.  The main difference with this is that it uses NTFS authentication instead of introducing an account controller.  There is also a new option to use HTML5 semantic markup which will include Modernizr with your views.  There are other new features available with this update and you can learn more about it over on Phil’s blog.
