Product Description
Product Description
Using WebForms has led to problems for ASP.NET developers, such as low testability and inconsistent code. These problems become increasingly relevant when trying to develop or maintain anything but the simplest web site.
This book takes you through the ASP.NET MVC framework to help you simplify and build web applications quickly. With example applications built on best practices and with clear explanations, you will get started in no time.
The MVC pattern is widely accepted as one of the best approaches for building modern web applications and Microsoft's new ASP.NET MVC Framework offers a fully supported way for developers to implement MVC in ASP.NET.
This book takes you through the essential tasks to create powerful web applications as fast as possible. These essential tasks are explained clearly, with well-structured instructions. The book does not cover every single feature in detail; it provides precise information for you to get started, and takes you through the creation of an example application that covers MVC application design techniques.
In addition to helping you write code, this book covers unit testing, to improve the stability and quality of the application you are building. It provides a quick reference to the MOQ framework to aid in unit testing. With this book, you will soon have the skills that will make you an ASP.NET developer to be reckoned with, and you will be creating applications with a speed that will astonish your colleagues and boss!

Format:Paperback
This book is, as the title says, a quick overview (around 190 pages plus 50 pages of various appendixes, one of which is about his sample application CarTrackr) on all the aspects of the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 framework.
It starts with the usual "File>New Project" experience and then moves on to a quick overview of the different parts of the framework and the extensibility points that ASP.NET MVC has.
Then it goes more in detail, talking about the main actors (Controllers, Routing, Views) and explaining the some of the most important extensibility points (like custom ActionResults and ActionFilters), Ajax and finally talking about testing, deployment and how to mix classic ASP.NET WebForms with ASP.NET MVC.
What I liked: the chapter about Ajax: it covers the Ajax helper methods and the JsonResult. It performs the same tasks both using ASP.NET Ajax and jQuery: it was very nice to see the same thing implemented with the two techniques. I also really like the chapter about deployment which explains how to configure IIS6 to use ASP.NET MVC: unfortunately not everyone already migrated to IIS7 and this is very great information.
What I didn't like: This is more a personal taste than else, but I wouldn't talk about the possibility of using the Request object to read the querystring parameters: true, this is possible, but it's something that should be avoided. And I wouldn't use the Visual Studio UnitTest wizard to create the tests for my controllers.

No learning structure for learning mvc in this book
23 July 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
tried a few examples- v tough to follow and find out whats going on
there is no sequence of steps to follow as would be expected from the title-you be better off looking at another book for learning mvc
advantages- it give you some idea how it works but basically compared to the price and other packt publishing books this one doesn't hit the mark
for the price you pay- paying more didn't mean better quality
