Is this really goodbye to the humble asp.net webform?

I’ve just been reading this post by Mike Roberts
(of Thoughtworks) which is titled “Goodbye Web Forms”. (via Sijin Joseph’s blog).

He’s removed all of the Web Form code for CruiseControl.NET (an Automated Continuous Integration server), which to some would sound like he’s basically reinventing the wheel.

There is absolutely no reason why you couldn’t do it at all. It’s just not something you see the everyday coder trying to make tight deadlines pursue something down this path (of developing your own little custom framework to replace something that already exists).

He’s based a bit of it on WebWork, which is a web app framework for J2EE. It is based on a concept called “Pull HMVC” Pull Hierarchical Model View Controller.

Interesting, let’s see what comes of it.

Oh, and isn’t it interesting that there are so many Java Open Source projects being ported to .NET?
