The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a Microsoft open source web application framework that implements the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. Based on ASP.NET, it allows software developers to build a Web application as a composition of three roles: Model, View and Controller.

A model represents the state of a particular aspect of the application. Frequently, a model maps to a database table with the entries in the table representing the state of the application. A controller handles interactions and updates the model to reflect a change in state of the application, and then passes information to the view. A view accepts necessary information from the controller and renders a user interface to display that.

The latest stable version – MVC 4 – is available from the Microsoft Download Center website.

The latest announcements from Microsoft usually come from Scott Guthrie’s blog. Other notable blogs relating to MVC include Phil Haack, Scott Hanselman, and Brad Wilson.
