MVC Tips and Tricks from WMDoDN 08

Over the next week or so I plan to have individual blog posts about my "favorite" demos in this presentation, but I wanted to get the PowerPoint stack and code samples out there ASAP.  I will definitely blog in detail about the SEOHelper, Blueprint CSS additions, jQuery Ajax (3 ways), and the MasterPage/BaseController/BaseViewData pieces.
