Product Description
Product Description
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 introduces a radical 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 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 2, 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.

Outstanding introduction to MVC and .net best practices,
By
This review is from: Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework 2nd Edition (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
Not only will this book hold your hand fully to understand the Asp.net MVC 2 framework, but with it it will also detail how to introduce a whole host of best practices and preferred development methodologies. It'll open your eyes to DI, MOQ, TDD and a whole lot more. In creating the SportsStore application you'll not only be guided every step of the way (personally I *MUCH prefer* the learn-by-example approach that this book takes) but end up with a working application as a result.Yes, this is a hefty book and yes its pretty complex - but then again there is a LOT of complex stuff to cover. If you have an understanding of asp.net web forms and want to venture into the world of MVC, this really is a perfect starting point. Highly recommended.

Easy to read and updated since the first edition,
This review is from: Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework 2nd Edition (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
I enjoyed the first edition of this book a year or two ago. I was hesitant about buying the second edition because I thought it would duplicate a lot of material. In fact it has been updated to cover all the new topics that appear in MVC2.This book is easy to read and covers many practical real-world problems.

Too much too soon,
This review is from: Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Framework 2nd Edition (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
This book gets too complicated too soon. It started OK, with some theory that appeared to make sense, but in the example project the author tells you to create all sorts of weird and wonderful folders in additional to the standard ones.After following along for quite some time, I realised I hadn't got a clue what most of the stuff I'd created was for, whether it was an M, a V or a C, or where to look for a particular file! First he divides the top level into Domain and WebUI; then he adds Abstract and Concrete subfolders to Domain and HtmlHelpers and Infastructure to WebUI. Then he tells you to install third party extensions for Dependency Injection. For someone trying to understand the MVC concept this was just too much. A free download of the first chapter of the other book, Professional ASP.NET MVC 2, proved much more helpful. Having ditched my first project and started again using this example my project now has folders called Models, Views and Controllers - no ambiguity there - plus a couple of other folders whose function is pretty easy to understand. I suspect the author of this book has developed his folder structure as a result of his experience on projects; it probably works for him, but for a beginner struggling to understand new concepts it is not appropriate. For reference my background is in web development and programming but not, until recently, ASP.NET or C#.
