ASP.NET MVC is released today.  The RC1 and RC2 released were out over last month and today, at MIX, we will be unveiling ASP.NET MVC 1.0 RTW version that can be downloaded from www.asp.net/mvc

There are over 40 videos resource tutorials available already and these provide close to 200 hours of learning on ASP.NET MVC that help you kick start with ASP.NET MVC based web development.

MVC would be supported out of the box, in addition to the Web Form model of development in Visual Studio 2010 and that provides greater flexibility for Web developers to chose the model they prefer.

Also, the System.Web.Routing engine is a part of .NET 3.5 SP1 that helps you create ASP.NET Web Forms that can simulate MVC like URLs although they work on the traditional post back model.

These help in creating websites which are search engine friendly as well as offer easier navigation to web users.

More on System.Web.Routing, in a later post.

Cheers !!!
