.NET-based Framework for Line-of-Business Web Apps
MVVM is a great pattern for Line-of-Business web apps with complicated user interfaces and interactive forms.
No need to write tons of javascript code, build your REST APIs, deal with AJAX requests, serialization, date formats etc.

The rest is taken care of.
