ASP.NET MVC is the premiere web development framework for the Microsoft
platform, and represents a significant departure from standard ASP.NET and
ASP web development.  This new paradigm in development is perfect for both
established and new shops, and Derek will show us how this new framework
frees your developers from repetitive and error prone web development while
also providing best in class security, scalability, and features.  He will
also discuss how adopting an MVC framework allows multiple developers to
avoid stepping on each other's toes, as well as the many other business
benefits of the MVC approach.  This presentation will focus on benefits to
your business rather than the technical ins and outs of source code, so
don't miss it!
