ASP.NET Review

This programming language is fast but in converting your MVC existing files is difficult.

1. No ViewState or "surprise crap". 2. Faster server-side. 3. Simplified model for multiple related views. 4. Unit testable.

1. Difficult to convert an existing site. 2. Not best for SEO out of the box. 3. Challenges if you’re not running IIS7.

If I needed to build a new site from scratch, and was able to use IIS7, it would be extremely likely that I would choose ASP.NET MVC. It’s a joy to work with (possibly because it’s "new"), and just makes sense. If I needed to work with an existing site, I would certainly have to consider the pro’s and con’s I mentioned above. ASP.NET MVC gives us an amazing new tool in our huge Microsoft toolbox.
