As Hilton's blog indicates, we'll have the pleasure of chatting with legendary Brad Abrams soon, right here in Cape Town! He will be doing a talk on the planned ASP.NET MVC Framework for SADeveloper.net. Scott Guthrie explains the MVC pattern nicely over here. This is an exciting framework that might(!) remind you of Ruby on Rails. Some open source efforts to bring the rails mentality of CoC and DRY to the .net platform has been attempted before, most notably with the Castle Project.
One of the main concerns with the new ASP.NET MVC Framework is that, instead of allowing client-server interaction via the current postback model, your postbacks will now be directed to a Controller class. This is in fact not a concern as much as it is a breaking change - it is in fact a much cleaner seperation of concerns, which the current ASP.NET model does not have.
