Web UI Warfare: Choosing Between ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC

Come hear about the key concepts and features behind the two primary user interface technologies available for ASP.NET - MVC and Web Forms. 

Learn the pros and cons of both MVC and Web Forms, how to determine the best choice for a specific project, various techniques and patterns used to build MVC applications vs. Web Forms applications, and the implications for using each approach.

I would recommend to leave out the history part (asp classic, ..) - does not really interest me if i want to see decide between webforms and mvc (10 debatable minutes). You are repeating several times that the web form example is simple nothing special (why repeat that statement).

Talking about interactivity i may suggest to ask the audience about their previous knowledge to decide how long you stay on the basic topics (for example i would assume that over 90% knew what a querystring is and know how to get a value from it). You could even poll the audience if you can rush through the basic explanation of WebForms (another 5 to 10 minutes saved).

On around 39 minutes in the video you say that you can controll more with mvc. But i did no see you gave an example or an explanation about that.

On minute 43 you start to talk about the controller and repeat again a lot of statements.

On minute 53 up to minute 59 you name some considerations which can help to decide between WebForms and MVC.

So basically it leaves me with 6 minutes that might help.

Kudos how you handled the guy who wanted to talk about css-styles versus themes.
