Abstract: In this talk we will be taking an in depth look at ASP.NET MVC3. Many of the new features in the version 3 release will be covered, as well as new features provided by the recent MVC3 tools update. We will take a detailed look at the powerful new Razor view engine, examining it’s syntax and looking at how it is different from the standard aspx view engine. In addition, we’ll examine at a few open source frameworks that will speed your asp.net mvc development time and provide functionality such as scaffolding, logging, diagnostics and advanced mvc grids.
