    ASP.NET MVC - "Save the developer, Save the World"
    Have you ever tried to unit test your web applications?  Have you ever wanted to have cleaner urls, cleaner, standards-compliant HTML?  What about accessible, unobtrusive Javascript?  With ASP.NET WebForms all of these things have been difficult.  Not impossible, but difficult.  Come learn about the upcoming ASP.NET MVC framework and see how it addresses these concerns.  Model-View-Controller is a widely respected pattern for developing web applications, and it gives us the freedom to have complete control over our URLs, HTML (DOM element ID's), and allows us to easily unit test our controllers.  Come take a look at the next paradigm in .NET web development!
