First look at ASP.NET MVC 4 Templates

This post is part of ASP.NET MVC 4 Article Series.

Updated on 19-Aug-2012:
Updated after MVC 4 RTM and deleted Rich UI section as it is no more part of MVC 4 default template.

With release of ASP.NET MVC 4 Developer Preview, ASP.NET MVC team introduces a new default project template for MVC 4. New template has following improvements.

Cosmetic Improvements
New MVC 4 project template has cosmetic improvements prior to MVC 3 project template. And it will help community to create good looking modern websites with the default template itself without investing more in template designing.
Adaptive Rendering
Along with cosmetic improvements, new MVC 4 template used technique called Adaptive Rendering which will help in proper rendering in desktop browser as well mobile browser also without making any changes. To see Adaptive Rendering in action, resize browser window to be smaller and accordingly MVC 4 template layout will be changed to fit with screen size.
Rich UI
Another major improvement with MVC 4 default project template is use of JavaScript and jQuery plugins to provide rich UI. Click on Register and Login link to see rich UI in action.
