Scott Guthrie give presentation on ALT.NET conference about the new MVC model for ASP.NET and instantlly gets lot attention and posts around (you can read first reactions written by David Hayden, Chris Holmes, Nima Dilmaghani, Jeffrey Palermo, Gary Sherman ... ).
Videos from ALT.NET MVC talks could be seen at Scott Hanselman's blog who is also working on the prototype.
The ASP.NET from the first release give us "tools" for creating some "like" Model View Controller modeled applications. In practice the controller parts were implemented like Front Controller model or Page Controller. And lot of people talk about how today's ASP.NET could not achive the full MVC pattern. And according to the ALT.NET presentations this could be changed in a short time (hopefully) :) The "Rails" view on development and technologies used show that there is allways way to improve programming model and that this improving should allways be in benefit of building software people.
The new MVC should be fully decoupled (views, controllers, models), fully pluggable (example: aspx just as view and controller from some different engine or vice versa), using Inversion of Control and Dependency Injections practices, URL as part of routing engine and promting Test Driven Design.
So... the lot of brave new things, opening to new ideas... and a lot of learning stuff to all of us :)
