MVC Contrib & ASP.NET MVC Tips and Gotchas with Jeffrey Palermo
Jeffrey Palermo introduces us to the MVC Contrib project and sheds some light on some tips and common gotchas found when using the ASP.NET MVC framework.
Jeffrey's work with the ASP.NET MVC framework is extensive and prolific. He's got a book in the works (ASP.NET MVC In Action) where he is actively writing code for the Code Camp Server, was a founder of MVC Contrib, and has proposed some new ways to handle MVC ViewData.
MVC Contrib is becoming the go-to download destination after you start an MVC project. Take a minute to look through the MVC Contrib documentation. You will find many time savers!
