A few months ago we were bombarded with several product announcements in one shot, and among these was something called Razor. In this session, I'll introduce you to this new way of creating web pages, teach you its syntax, and give you my impressions as to when and why it is used in conjunction with Web Matrix. Most people seem to look at Razor as something that's ASP.NET MVC-related only, but in actually, it can be used outside of MVC and is actually part of a new stack that Microsoft put together.
