Using Task in ASP.NET MVC Today
http://devhawk.net/2011/05/19/using-task-of-t-in-asp-net-mvc-today/
Each major release of .NET to date has introduced a new async API pattern. .NET 1.0 had the Async Programming Model (APM). .NET 2.0 introduced the Event-based Async Pattern (EAP). Finally .NET 4.0 gave us the Task Parallel Library (TPL). The await keyword only works with APIs writen using the TPL pattern. APIs using older async patterns have to be wrapped as TPL APIs to work with await. The Async CTP includes a bunch of extension methods that wrap common async APIs, such as DownloadStringTaskAsync from the code above.

What is MvcScaffolding and why use it?
MvcScaffolding is tool available to ASP.NET MVC developers using Visual Studio that generates customizable controllers and views for any number of entities in your data model. In other words, MvcScaffolding is a way to quickly create an application layout based on data. This means there are less routine tasks that developers need to do, for example, creating your own controllers/views, CRUD methods, and validation, and more time spent on solving business problems.
MvcScaffolding generates the files as plain old .cs and .cshtml code files, with no designer files, so you're free to modify them as you want. You can scaffold controllers, views, repositories, etc... for CRUD operations in an app with a few commands, and have a fully functional application to work with. Combine the power of MvcScaffolding with Entity Framework's Code First feature, and you can start knocking out web apps much faster than before.http://rachelappel.com/ready-set-scaffold-build-asp.net-mvc-3-applications-quickly-with-mvcscaffolding
