Solutions are technically simpler, more reliable and flexible. The elimination of the server-side MVC model serves to refocus a student's (or solutions provider's) effort on the growing complexity of user interfaces on the client side. The heterogeneous browser environments (and personal computing devices lacking support for browsers) complicate this effort. Unfortunately, a lot of history gets thrown out in the courses to teach students how to program. For example, knowing why there was a need for server-side MVC can help students evolve their understanding on the subject, etc. It is now possible to consider alternatives to the web programming models where user interfaces are no longer generated on the server-side.

Here's a link the the current class web site, http://www.santarosa.edu/~dpearson/2009fall/cs5513/ . This is first time we've offered it as an online class and it is working more like an instructor led correspondence course.
