Today I saw a screen cast of ASP.NET Dynamic Data for the first time. As a Rails enthusiast I must say that I was very excited.
One of the ideas behind this technology is moving application logic into the models and removing them from the pages. Personally I think that idea is more than correct since a validation rule on a certain field will be repeated in every page where the field shows up.
Another great feature is the ability to quickly get something running. That is one thing that really facilitates talking to clients, after all there is no better way to talk a client than showing something running and from there you can define further requirements and move on with the development process.
I’m very excited to see the direction in which Microsoft is going with new ideas like the Dynamic Data Preview and the MVC framework. It shows that they a really connected to what is going on in the development world and keep taking the new ideas from other technologies and improving the .Net framework. So far the future of 3.5 looks bright.
