After a long weekend, Scott Guthrie announced the release of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP which includes the ASP.NET MVC Framework. My name is Phil Haack (pronounced "hack") and as the PM (Program Manager) for the ASP.NET MVC Framework, I welcome you to this forum. This is the place to discuss all things ASP.NET MVC. Ask questions, provide feedback, have fun!
