Introducing the ASP.NET MVC (Part 7) - The Controller

This is a continuation of my Introduction to ASP.NET MVC series. As I outlined before this is in an effort to write the book and keep blogging, I decided to write/blog the last chapter, Chapter 2.

ASP.NET MVC Has Changed My Life

Lately I have been neglecting my blog and not posting as often as I would have liked. I have had some very exciting things start up, at the begining of the summer, in my life that 6 months ago I would have said “no way is that going to happen.” These new adventures are the growing popularity of my blog, public speaking engagements, and a new book I was asked to write on ASP.NET MVC.
