The Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Framework second technology preview was released during MIX08 in March but has since released an update to their source code on April 16. This means there are many things going on with those involved in the project at Microsoft as well as those in the community. People are not creating just sample code but creating real applications now.
Developers can take these applications, some a work in progress, and learn from them or use them to create their own applications.
Rob Conery has been documenting the design and creation of a storefront using the MVC Framework along with Agile coding practices such as test-driven development and common patterns such as the Repository Pattern. Rob has a lot of expertise in this area as he was the original developer of the ASP.NET 2.0 Commerce Starter Kit which was later renamed as dashCommerce.
The MVC Storefront is an ongoing series, taking the reader through the design and development of a full-fledged ASP.NET MVC application. Each part of the series includes a description of the intent of the particular part as well as a great video demonstrating the code behind it.
The source code for the up-to-date project can be found at CodePlex.
Keyvan Nayyeri has a multi-part series on building a Blog Engine with ASP.NET MVC. Blog Engine creation seems to be a popular way for people to demonstrate technology and it does it effectively. Most developers relate well to blogs.
This Digg clone is a very good implementation and use of the MVC Framework. The application is live as part of the Dotnetslackers web site. The tutorial focuses on some very important aspects of the .NET developer's life:
Other projects exemplifying what the ASP.NET MVC are starting up all the time. Please stayed tuned to the InfoQ web site for details on future projects as well as updates to the ones mentioned here.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
