[the cutting edge ]

G'day Developers!

In our latest SSW TV video, I was very lucky to be joined by Microsoft MVP and Pluralsight author, John Papa, to explore building great web user experiences with Single Page Applications (SPA).

We discussed the ASP. Net MVC SPA Templates, some of the frameworks and Javascript libraries that can help you out and why developers should be spending more time on their client-side architecture.

The Model View Controller design pattern has been a proven and effective way of structuring applications for more than 30 years. In 2007, Microsoft introduced ASP.NET MVC to the world and since then, the framework has evolved into a mature and powerful way of writing dynamic web sites and powerful web applications.

ASP.NET MVC provides a great way of structuring your application, ensuring a clean separation of concerns, easy testability, and ultimate control over markup. It is quickly becoming the go-to framework for writing .Net web applications.
