You've heard about the new ASP.NET MVC framework and are impressed by how much it changes your experience on the server.  You probably also noticed how different your UI interaction (creating views and interacting with the backend) can be.  In this session we'll review these differences and take a look at how we can work in this new environment and embrace the renewed control and freedom that ASP.NET MVC provides us!
We'll talk about:
--How to go from thinking in "Web Forms" to thinking in ASP.NET MVC
--How client-side JavaScript frameworks are now more important to building rich applications than ever
--How to create rich and dynamic interfaces using gracefully degrading partial rendering (think "UpdatePanel") and other useful techniques
--Making use of the MVC paradigm using JavaScript on the client-side
