ASP.NET MVC Web Application Advantages The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a new framework and have the following advantages over Web Forms approach (means over ASP.Net): Separation of concern In ASP.NET MVC the application is divided to Model View and Controller parts which make it easier to manage the application complexity. TDD The ASP.NET MVC framework brings better support to test-driven development. Extensible and pluggable ASP.NET MVC framework components were designed to be pluggable and extensible and therefore can be replaced or customized easier then Web Forms. Full control over application behavior ASP.NET MVC framework doesn’t use View State or server based forms like Web Forms. This gives the application developer more control over the behaviors of the application and also reduces the bandwidth of requests to the server. ASP.NET features are supported ASP.NET MVC framework is built on top of ASP.NET and therefore can use most of the features that ASP.NET include such as the providers architecture authentication and authorization scenarios membership and roles caching session and more. URL routing mechanism ASP.NET MVC framework supports a powerful URL routing mechanism that helps to build a more comprehensible and searchable URLs in your application. This mechanism helps to the application to be more addressable from the eyes of search engines and clients and can help in search engine optimization.

@Nitin I meant implemented. I corrected my answer. MVC is much older than Microsoft.Thanks for correcting misunderstandings.

@Aria The  That is why Microsoft started MVC part is debatable. If you see the history of MVC on Wikipedia you will see that it is implemented in SmallTalk in 80s. Later it was implemented in Apples WebObjects and later in Java. Microsoft was very late in implementing it actually.

What I have to add to the answer is that you are familiar with asp.net page and you know how much code is written in the code behind page (of course if not using MVP design pattern which I haven't seen being used 90% of the time). Asp page is the view and we should not be writing business logic in the view.This is bad practice and it is very hard to test. That is why Microsoft implemented MVC primarily for ease of testing and separation of concerns.

Hello Even if you just google you will get several tutorials even on this site. However let me add this. MVC is a completely different page processing architecture than asp.net. Essentially you will need to forget everything about asp.net page processing life cycle and look at MVC with a fresh mind. Do not even try to compare when you are learning. More and more new projects are now being developed in MVC so it will definitely help you add this to your skill set. Hope I have not added to the confusion.
