Today’s article is going to be one of many, or at least a few, that take a look at building an application using the new ASP.Net MVC Beta. I wanted to do this in a small series so we can look at each phase of the application in a decent amount of detail while keeping the length appropriate for a blog post.

This first part isn’t actually going to crack the lid on MVC just yet but we are going to look at a few things today.

1. What is MVC and specifically what does ASP.Net MVC look like?
2. What will the goals of our application be? What features will it have?
3. What will our database structure look like?
