The Blog

My how technology goes fast.  Today I read this term for the first time:

Classic ASP.NET

Let that one sink in for a little bit. 

I came across the term in the comments of a blog post on ASP.NET MVC: http://www.aaronlerch.com/blog/2008/01/26/displaying-foo-on-every-page-of-an-aspnet-mvc-application/.  The commenter is referring to ASP.NET Web Forms. 

Of course, all of us good ASP.NET developers know that MVC is not a replacement for Web Forms.  The difference between Web Forms and MVC is not analogous to Classic ASP and Web Forms.  It is interesting to think of how ASP.NET MVC will be adopted though.  After playing with it for about a week, I really enjoy MVC's "back to HTML basics" feel - and it kind of makes developing web apps a little fun again.

It feels better because it's easier and web apps BEG to be MVC... Web Forms (the abomination of Windows Forms for the Web) did not fit how HTTP actually worked... Once you really dig deep into MVC for a web app, you'll never want to go back...

Since the day I saw ASP.Net, I've tried to avoid it like the plague, when I was a .Net consultant... no ASP.Net sites for me! But now with MVC, I might not shun it right away...
