Done something similar, but one step further using Ruby. I've written build conventions for our js/css.

Ruby checks the project type (by its Guid) and if it's a web type one, looks for a "res" folder.

It then finds all *.merge.css and *.merge.js files. And passes them to a Ruby app called Juicer. With Juicer you can use @imports in css, and it's clever enough to actually get that file and spit it into the calling file. It then runs YuiCompressor and can do soft or hard cache-busting.

I've even started writing a Ruby script that calls SVN, and get the revision number of each image (stores the result once found for speed), and puts the number into the url (hard cache-busting).

Just means we don't have to remember to add anything to a config, we just need to make sure we follow convention and it'll get included.

I keep meaning to blog on it, but want to get 100% coverage on my rake/ruby stuff before I do. Some of the earlier stuff wasn't covered too well.

re: WebForms vs MVC (again)

I think they're both sub-optimal. With enough prodding and coaxing you can bend either to your will. In the hands of a qualified developer, I don't see one being any better than the other. I've been serving up HTML since the IDC/HTX days and before that using CGI executables and scripts. It's no way to build an "application". Bring on the client side Javas! er, um... I mean Silverlights! HTML5 by 2015? 2025? Any bets?

Comparisons aside, use the tools which pay your bills. Right now all the ASP.NET open positions in my area are WebForms and not MVC. However learn MVC on the side. You will use it sometime in the future when it becomes more ubiquitous.

Chris,

But this isn't how Web Forms is being sold to the public. The "benefits" of Web Forms that is constantly being peddled by Microsoft (and fans of Web Forms) is the ability to using complex controls and the ability to create a thick client.

I completely agree in the YAGNI world if there is a requirement to build a one page site that simply spits out some data for internal use only, there's nothing wrong with creating a Web Form app to do so. I did just that a few weeks ago and I loathe Web Forms but I needed to hit a DB and display the contents of a single table in a grid/table. No style sheets, no other controls, just a page where a table dump could be read by the Hardware Developers. For that job Web Forms did the job in minutes, and I was thankful for it.

The problem is, that frequency of projects like that is few and far in between.

While I definitely prefer MVC and advocate it's use over WebForms on a daily basis, I'd have to agree with Pete. If you need to create a pretty simple application that just does some database interaction (i.e. display a table, allow you to edit the data) you can create it in WebForms much faster than you can in MVC. The output it not going to be something anyone would consider a "Quality web site" but if WebForms gets the job done and fulfills all the needs of the users its still a viable option.
