Product Description
Product Description
ASP.NET MVC (Model View Framework) allows you to use ready–to–use MVC code so you can develop Web applications faster. This book’s cut–to–the–chase approach gets you up to speed on the new ASP.NET MVC without getting bogging you down in learning or re–learning ASP.NET itself. You’ll receive straightforward instruction on concepts, backed by real–world case studies and examples that offer practical solutions. Topics include test–driven development and unit testing, the principles of the MVC pattern, how to implement it, how to move from traditional ASP.NET Webforms to ASP.NET MVC, and much more.

Book everyone using ASP.NET MVC should have on their desk, 14 Nov 2009
By Antonacci Igor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning ASP.NET MVC (Paperback)
Although I've been a Web Developer for several years, I changed my career path since few years and all my knowledge about Web Programming was not-so-fresh.
Beginning ASP.NET MVC drove me through the new way of making THE WEB with the MVC pattern in the .NET World.
Simone and Keyvan start with Chapters regarding all the basic building blocks of ASP.NET MVC (from what a Model/ a View / a Controller are, to ActionFilters, ActionControllers and so on) with very clever examples.
Every chapter starts with the assumption the reader has no knowledge about such topic and, at the end, makes you aware of what that piece is and how to use it in next chapters.
I've been ready in less than 2 weeks with my first real-world (simple) Application...and I neither finished the book at that time!
The book also covers technologies an "ASP.NET MVC Starter" should know about to let a Web Application works: Ajax, Security (Authentication - Authorization).
Final Chapters get the reader a basic but good idea on how to extend ASP.NET MVC and how to use it in the real world following a couple of
Case Studies.
All chapters are pushing the reader thru the Test-Driven Development methodology: the way of programming ASP.NET MVC has been though on.
Very practical but won't leave you without theoretical topics in mind.
It is my definitive MVC Reference even now I feel more "comfortable" with this new Technology: it covers all I need for a good Web Application.
Personal Experience and gain in knowledge: EXCELLENT; one of the best technical book I ever read.

Easiest way to learn MVC, 26 Sep 2009
By De Sanctis Marco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning ASP.NET MVC (Paperback)
What I really liked on reading this book was the "I show you the actual code and then explain how it works" approach. It's very practical: you won't find a lot of theoretical concepts (although they're definitely part of the book) as any concept is explained by examples which you can eventually reproduce on your own computer. The book covers a wide range of aspects about developing web apps with ASP.NET MVC, starting from the basics of the project's anatomy, going through AJAX and Unit testing, and ending with customizing the framework to your needs. If you are a web forms developer, you never touched MVC and you want to be ready for it in a couple of weeks, well... this book is for you.
Enjoy!

Truly a beginner book oriented more towards WebForms Programmer, 9 April 2010
By Ayp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning ASP.NET MVC (Paperback)
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know about ASP.NET MVC.
This book is more oriented towards the ASP.NET WebForms programmer who are trying to make the transition to
ASP.NET MVC way of programming. Having said that anyone - even those who have not done ASP.NET WebForms
programming - can understand the concept and can get going. The book explains things gradually step by step so
that any body can understand it. The book also contains "Try it out" sessions where the sources are given
first and then explained later by highlighted code. The highlighted code reinforce the new concepts we just
got introduced to. The book also provides exercises to do at the end of each chapter and the solutions are
provided in Appendix B in case you are struck with your solution. In short this book covers everything a MVC
beginner programmer needs to know.
Sometimes I wish the authors are precise and not very eloborate - but I guess the authors wanted to make sure
that the beginner gets the concepts right and so were very eloborate.
Listmania!
