  Just minor correction, MVC is not specific to a platform or a language, it's an architectural pattern so you can certainly achieve this in PHP with or without a framework, much like you can do that in WebForms and in fact, in most cases the right way to start with WebForms applications is applying the MVP architectural pattern which most professionals are applying to create this separation of concerns, it's a best practice that people were applying for years either through a framework or without in WinForms, however, it adds yet another layer on top of WebForms that is already complex to achieve state and event-driven programming so the nice thing with ASP.NET MVC is that it removes these layers and integrate itself as close as possible to the ASP.NET pipelines so it's much faster, configurable and extensible.

  Other than that great series for newcomers.

  Very useful guide, thanks!

  The information in this video could have been explained within 7 minutes, which to my opinion would have been more informative and less irritating.

  Just started learning asp.net and Mvc . Thanks for this course! It’s hard to find great free resources.

  First, thank you for the series. I have been tinkering with programs from the 1970’s and web development from the early 1990’s. I just started learning MVC and like the format. The one thing that puzzles me is - with all shortcuts and behind the scene magic why did the mess with the simple drop down box? Using webforms I dragged the box and the wizard coded my sql connection in a matter of seconds. Using the new and improved MVC it took me days to figure out where to begin. Then I found you can’t just drag and drop but you need to setup classes and controllers and views to make a simple drop down, very cumbersome and a lot of work ! Is there an easy way to do this?
