In this chapter we’ll take a look at the fundamentals of what makes ASP.NET MVC tick—from its proud lineage and the architectural concepts on which it is built, to the use of Microsoft Visual Studio 2011 to create a fully functioning ASP.NET MVC web application. Then we’ll dive into the ASP.NET MVC web application project and see just what ASP.NET MVC gives you right from the start, including a working web page and built-in forms authentication to allow users to register and log in to your site.
