ScottGu has posted a new book blog post on the new ASP.NET MVC framework and it's chock full of good stuff and screenshots (for the ADD among us).

Highlights (in no particular order):

  • Project support in Visual Studio
  • Follows similar file/folder structure to other MVC frameworks
  • Follows similar request/URL structure to other MVC frameworks
  • TESTABILITY SUPPORT (I'm tempted to use the blink tag here, this might be one of the few cases where it's warranted)
  • IHttpRequest and IHttpResponse -- if nothing else, the MVC framework is worth it for these alone!
  • Support for many of the good ASP.NET features remains in-tact (master pages, configuration, localization, some server tags that don't require the post-back model, etc)

He even had a screenshot of a unit test for his sample controller -- but he did the test AFTER he wrote the controller ;)  (I have to find SOMETHING wrong with the post, otherwise I'm just a sycophant)
