DevConnections – The ASP.NET MVC Framework
ASP .Net MVC != Web Forms 4.0
“One important point I kept stressing in the talk was that this is designed to be compatible with the ASP.NET subsystems you already use. That means Session, Cache, Personalization, Roles, Membership, etc, still work and are there to be used and abused. This framework, in the namespace System.Web.Mvc, is an alternate architecture, but not “an entirely new parallel ASP.NET,” no more than any of the other home-grown or open source MVC/MVP frameworks that are out there”

“The certification alphabet is no substitute for a solid portfolio; you should be spending your time building stuff, not studying for multiple choice tests. But that doesn’t mean they’re worthless, either. I don’t think certifications get in the way, as long as you can demonstrate an impressive body of work along with them.”
I couldn’t agree more. I find that there is a misconception MS certifications are software development qualifications. Many budding developers think of this as a must have and expect to get programming skills through the certification program. They fail to realize that the MCP/MCSD/MCPD certifications are product certifications rather than programming certifications.

I was playing with Redgate’s SQL Dependency tracker yesterday. The balloon tree view sort of shows how modular the db design is. I’m working on a project where I’m implementing “pluggable” modules of functionality.
The two circular clusters at the top left corner are the db objects for the module I’m working on. The view shows how the cluster relates to the ASP .Net membership provider tables. The clusters which go diagonally across the view are the aspnet db objects.
