When Will Sitecore Adopt ASP.NET MVC?
I followed the ASP.NET MVC development since it first appearance on the ALT.NET conference in the end of 2007 and as you can see from various posts, I’m a big fan of it (ASP.NET Web Development - some thoughts… -and- A Conceptual Alignment of Sitecore, ASP.NET WebForms, ASP.NET MVC and the Microsoft AJAX Client-side Library). From an architectural point of view as well as from a lead developer point of view, MVC is and has always been the best server-side pattern for web applications (and as long-standing Java EE and Rails developer I’m allowed to say that). In combination with event-driven GUI frameworks on the client side like ASP.NET AJAX, JQuery and Silverlight it should always be the first choice for every serious web developer in 2009. It is also an important building block of our Reference Application Architecture and Microsofts Application Architecture Guidance 2.0, especially in combination with WCF.
The question is now: When will Sitecore finally adopt ASP.NET MVC as supported framework? Clearly there is no doubt that the development model of ASP.NET MVC and Sitecore are even closer aligned than the development model of ASP.NET WebForms and Sitecore and that there are enormous synergistic effects by integrating both frameworks. This is true for various parts of the system, especially routing and rendering (where XSLT was - beside other reasons - chosen because "inline code" was a bad thing back than). I personally expect not only basic support for ASP.NET MVC but even a complete switch to use it as primary base framework instead of ASP.NET WebForms over the next couple of months, maybe a year.

Custom Sitecore fields and master templates
For a client I had to write a custom Sitecore field. The field was to contain a number that incremented every time a new item using the field was created. I created the field and so that they could seed the number created a Sitecore item that contained the current highest field number.
This worked great for [...]
