Rate this book

Author Steven Sanderson has seen the ASP.NET MVC Framework mature from the start, so his experience, combined with comprehensive coverage of all the new features, including those in the official MVC development toolkit, offers the clearest understanding of how this exciting new framework can improve your coding efficiency. With this book, you’ll gain invaluable up-to-date knowledge of security, deployment, and interoperability challenges.

The ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform. It introduces a radically new high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility, combined with all the benefits of ASP.NET 3.5.

In this book, the core model-view-controller (MVC) architectural concepts are not simply explained or discussed in isolation, but are demonstrated in action. You’ll work through an extended tutorial to create a working e-commerce web application that combines ASP.NET MVC with the latest C# language features and unit-testing best practices. By gaining this invaluable, practical experience, you’ll discover MVC’s strengths and weaknesses for yourself—and put your best-learned theory into practice.

What you’ll learn Gain a solid architectural background to ASP.NET MVC V2, including MVC and REST concepts. Explore the entire ASP.NET MVC Framework and take a detailed look at the official MVC development toolkit. See how it works with test-driven development in action. Capitalize on your existing knowledge quickly and easily through translation and comparison of features in classic ASP.NET to those in ASP.NET MVC. Learn about the latest security and deployment issues, including IIS 7.0. Who this book is for

This book is for web developers with a basic knowledge of ASP.NET and C# who want (or need) to start using the new ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework.

Excellent book for starters with the ASP.NET MVC, and takes you quite a way into advanced topics (custom model binders, templated view helpers...) Also easy to read, and I keep using it as a reference. From what I've heard from colleagues, the best book on ASP.NET MVC2 at the time. Still useful for ASP.NET MVC 3 if you're familiar with the differences.
