'Big' websites using ASP.NET MVC

Hi All,

I suspect that this question may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it.

I would like to know what the biggest sites out there using ASP.NET MVC at the moment are.

StackOverflow, obviously - but I haven't heard about many others yet.

Are there any other 'big' ones?

Thanks

Showcase of "Live" ASP.NET MVC Sites

Thanks. I've seen that one before. Pretty small scale stuff in there mostly.

I've asked it before, and it was closed too for being double ;^)

ah... although my question wasn't related to MVC... but maybe some answers apply anyway

any big sites using asp.net?

Heh. However, you asked about ASP.NET (Webforms presumably) - this question is specifically about ASP.NET MVC

Well, according to this http://visualstudiomagazine.com/Blogs/RDN-Express/2009/09/VS2010-and-.NET-4-Beta-2-Expected-Soon.aspx it does uses MVC. Maybe not on all parts of the site though.

Darin Dimitrov 2009-10-18 11:35:27

That's Intersting - looking at the HTML source there's no INamingContainer junk in there, so I guess it's not webforms.

UpTheCreek 2009-10-18 11:42:48

I think that if it really uses MVC, it is a highly customized version, not the one available for public download.

Darin Dimitrov 2009-10-18 11:47:02

Why? It looks like it uses MVC.

Are you asking this question because you are making a technology decision for a large web site? Whilst Microsoft has been coy about recommending it for large sites, I don't think you'll have any problems that can't be solved if you structure it sensibly.

As always the context of a technology choice is important, for example if you are displaying a large number of disparate data sets in your views for a heavily data-centric site then you may find that your controllers and views get a little complex and "busy", but you'd also have a similar problem in your code-behind if you were using "Classic" ASP.NET.

But if you are simply asking "Is it solid and scalable?", I'd be inclined to answer "Yes".

Is your name really Scott Lowe? That's my name too! Man that freaked me out for a second. Spooky.

UpTheCreek 2009-10-18 12:42:19

Anyway, to answer your question... I'm already set on ASP.NET MVC and have a lot of confidence in it. I'm just curious about what's going on in the industry with it :)

UpTheCreek 2009-10-18 12:43:43

Heh, yes, it's really my name. But I'm not the guy that writes the tech books! I live in Manchester UK. Pleased to meet you (me), sir!

Scott Lowe 2009-10-18 12:52:58

In answer to your question about "what's going on in the industry", I think there is quite a lot of ASP.NET MVC being used under the radar in the Enterprise, i.e. non public sites. I've worked upon a couple myself, and I've seen the job postings in the UK starting to grow for business apps.

I'm fairly certain that Louis DeJardin said that MarketWatch.com used asp.net mvc and the Spark view engine when he was interviewed on Herding Code.
