Abstract
The last three chapters covered ASP.NET Web Forms as well as web-related concepts such as HTTP and HTML. This chapter introduces two newcomers to the ASP.NET ecosystem: ASP.NET MVC and Web API. MVC grew out of the user community (specifically the ALT.NET movement) asking for a framework that more closely adhered to the tenants of HTTP, was more testable, and adhered to separation of concerns. While Web Forms still controls the market share of the .NET web development ecosystem, MVC is rapidly growing its adoption rate.
