The word “roadmap” tends to make honest product managers quiver; it provokes a similar reaction from software development managers. Nonetheless, we’ve been working hard on our .NET learning roadmap at InnerWorkings.

I’ll be walking through the full roadmap in future posts, but let’s start at the start shall we?

Hot on the heels of our most popular New Features in C# 4.0 release last month, we’re turning our attention to another core area of .NET 4.0 for professional developers.

Now it’s time to tackle <insert drum roll> the wildly popular ASP.NET MVC 2!

We figure that if Scott Hanselman and Scott Guthrie have co-written a book about it, you just know it’s going to be a big deal.

So what aspects of ASP.NET MVC 2 have we decided to cover for the intrepid professional software developer with some room in their brains for new skills?

Here’s the shortlist of topics that made the cut into our MVC 2 training:

• Introduction to MVC 2
• Using Controllers, Actions, and Views
• Templated Helpers
• MVC 2 validation and DataAnnotation support
• Using Filters in MVC 2
• Using AJAX with MVC 2
• Using Areas with MVC 2

I should point out that this outline is an update on our existing ASP.NET MVC Fundamentals training, so it’s well vetted content updated for the latest release of MVC.

Look out for an announcement on this blog once we release our MVC 2 training; it’s currently in development and will be coming soon.

I’ll be covering future InnerWorkings roadmap topics in my next post but here’s a hint — if you’re a Visual Basic developer, you won’t be disappointed with what comes after MVC 2.
