ASP.Net MVC, IE 8 (Yawn) Released

March 19th, 2009 by jason Leave a reply »

The first tech news coming out of Mix this morning was the release of IE 8. While its nice that they are still trying to do nice things with IE, I currently have 3 browsers installed that I prefer over IE: Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Firefox is my everyday browser. Its much faster than IE, and its plug-in ecosystem is great. All IE 8 does is make testing of our current release more difficult. Now we have to support 3 versions of IE. Such is progress.

There is something cool coming out of Mix today and that something is ASP.Net MVC. I played around with ASP.Net MVC a couple of months ago and really, really liked it. For creating a modern web site I don’t think it gets much better. Think Rails done right on top of a managed, strongly typed, compiled language married to great tools. Download page here. Microsoft has been making a lot of great moves in the web development space recently with their adoption of jQuery, release of Silverlight 2 last year and upcoming release of Silverlight 3, and now ASP.Net MVC.
