Whats wrong with
Web Forms in
ASP.NET?
• Web Forms lends to Spaghetti Code
• Difficult to maintain
• IDs get renamed
• Difficult to introduce Coding Standards
Tenets of
Frameworks

• Convention over Configuration
• SES and URL routing
• Good use of Design Patterns
•
•
Work within Test Driven Development
(TDD)
Enterprise Scalable Web Applications
• MVC Design Pattern

MVC stands for
Model
