Product Description
Product Description
ASP.NET MVC, one of the latest web development platforms from Microsoft, brings the power of MVC programming to ASP.NET development. It simplifies the task of application development and maintenance for developers. However, ASP.NET MVC is filled with so many features that developers end up looking for solutions to the many problems that are encountered in their routine development tasks.ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook will provide solutions for the very specific problems that are encountered while developing applications with the ASP.NET MVC platform. It consists of many recipes containing step-by-step instructions that guide developers to effectively use the wide array of tools and features of ASP.NET MVC platform for web development
ASP.NET MVC Cookbook is a collection of recipes that will help you to perform your routine development tasks with ease using the ASP.NET MVC platform. In this book you will be walked through the solution to several specific web application development problems. Each recipe will walk you through the creation of a web application, setting up any Visual Studio project requirements, adding in any external tools, and finally the programming steps needed to solve the problem. The focus of the book is to describe the solution from start to finish.
The book starts off with recipes that demonstrate how to work effectively with views and controllers – two of the most important ingredients of the ASP.NET MVC framework. It then gradually moves on to cover many advanced routing techniques. Considering the importance of having a consistent structure to the site, the book contains recipes to show how to build a consistent UI and control its look with master pages. It also contains a chapter that is packed with many recipes that demonstrate how to gain control of data within a view.
As the book progresses through some exciting recipes on performing complex tasks with forms, you will discover how easy it is to work with forms to jazz up the look of your web site. Building large applications with ease is one of the prime features of the MVC model. Therefore, this book also focuses on tools and features that make building large applications easier to manage. As data plays an important role in the MVC architecture, there are ample recipes dedicated to cover data validation, access, and storage techniques. Finally, the book demonstrates how to enhance the user experience of your visitors by controlling the data at the application, session, caching, and cookie level.
By the end of this book, you will have explored a wide array of tools and features available with the ASP.NET MVC platform
A fast-paced cookbook with recipes covering all that you wanted to know about developing with ASP.NET MVC

Review After A Single Glance
5 May 2011
Format:Paperback
Now this is a very superficial review, because I have just picked the book up and only had a single glance on it. In a ½ year I might write a different review.
But.
What is the one thing that every person new to ASP.NET MVC will have trouble with?
Well... DropDownList and SelectList of course.
When I look in the index for these subjects there is no entries! Really strange for a cookbook!
So apparently judging from the index, there is no recipe for this! Not good.
Further in this book are many screenshots where you see code from Visual Studio.
But the code is shown on a black background, which makes it difficult to read, yes sometimes it's outright impossible.
One wonders what the publisher was thinking about! Why render code on a black background, when it's difficult to read? Why not just render code on a white background, which is much easier to read?

Too superficial, very weak -- especially for a cookbook.
2 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
After I purchased MVC 2 In Action, I purchased ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook, hoping that it would go deeper than In Action (Which was a great book IMHO). Unfortunately, however, the examples were typically far too rudimentary to be useful and a lot of time was spent "cooking up" functionality that was already baked into the framework. For instance:
One section entitled: "Moving Routes out of Global.asax" involved creating a class with a static method and calling that method from within Global.asax... (Are you kidding me? This is programming 101 stuff).
Another section was called "Creating a Master Page" which is something you wouldn't even need to go online for because you can already see what's going on in the MVC 2's default Web project.
In another section they explain for and foreach loops in ASP.net pages...
There were a few useful recipes, but sadly it wasn't worth the money....
