13.17. ASP.NET MVC Highlights

Here are some of the highlights of ASP.NET MVC:

• ASP.NET MVC's separation of concerns eases testability.

• It offers complete control over rendered HTML.

• If you adhere to MVC's guidlines, you have the flexibility of being able to alter your UI, business logic, or database without affecting other layers.

• It gives you control over your application's URL, which can aid with search engine indexability and can make your application easier to navigate (note routing functionality is available in ASP.NET 4).

• ASP.NET MVC offers better performance than ASP.NET.

• ASP.NET MVC follows the stateless nature of the Web, which can make it easier to scale out applications and for integration purposes.

• It works well with a test-driven development approach.

• It integrates well with JavaScript frameworks.
