Last week MVC 3 RTM was released. I’ve been able to play around with the various release candidates and I have to say that I love the new changes, especially the new Razor ViewEngine. For those of you that have not been looking into the changes for MVC 3, or you are just starting to look into MVC, I wanted to first introduce the Razor ViewEngine and then show you how to use the syntax with some of our extensions for ASP.NET MVC.

Another release of the Work Item Manager is here and we have some exciting new features to tell you about!
