Product Description
From there, the bulk of the rest of the book begins with the basic concepts around the model view controller pattern, including the little history and the state of the MVC on the web today. We′ll then go into the ways that MVC is different from ASP.NET Web Forms. We′ll explore the structure of a standard MVC application and see what you get out of the box. Next we dig deep into routing and see the role URLs play in your application. We′ll deep dive into controllers and views and see what role the Ajax plays in your applications. The last third of the book focuses entirely on advanced techniques and extending the framework.
In some places, we assume that you′re somewhat familiar with ASP.NET WebForms, at least peripherally. There are a lot of ASP.NET WebForms developers out there who are interested in ASP.NET MVC so there are a number of places in this book where we contrast the two technologies. Even if you′re not already an ASP.NET developer, you might still find these sections interesting for context, as well as for your own edification as ASP.NET MVC may not be the web technology that you′re looking for.
It’s worth noting, that ASP.NET MVC is not a replacement for ASP.NET Web Forms (aka just "ASP.NET"). Many web developers have been giving a lot of attention to other web frameworks out there (Ruby on Rails, Django) which have embraced the MVC (Model–View–Controller) application pattern, and if you’re one of those developers, or even if you’re just curious, this book is for you.
MVC allows for (buzzword alert!) a "greater separation of concerns" between components in your application. The book goes into the ramifications of this, but if it had to be said it in a quick sentence: ASP.NET MVC is ASP.NET Unplugged. ASP.NET MVC is a tinkerer’s framework that gives you very fine–grained control over your HTML and Javascript, as well as complete control over the programmatic flow of your application.

Then, when you read through other chapters you understand how everything works under the hood. It's loaded with best practices and handy tips for your next MVC project. I think after reading this book, one can get started with MVC for real world application in no time.
Having examples helps when one needs to grasp concepts. The sequence in which the chapters were laid out (examples then explanation) made it really easy to follow and _enjoy_ the text. If you are an MVC beginner, this book is definitely for you.
However, note that there are some typos in the book, so make sure that you have list of errata at hand.
The authors are all key players in MVC, but unfortunately this is not the sum of their considerable intellect.
The first 164 pages is taken up with an example project which puts into context many of the concepts expanded upon in the succeeding chapters. There is also a fair amount of content, including analysis of the relative merits, given over to developers who are coming from an existing ASP.NET (i.e. WebForms) background, which should ease any transition or evaluation of business case for MVC. Time is also given to complementary methodologies and technologies (e.g. TDD) as well as some of the nuts and bolts of the MVC framework.
What I particularly liked is that it's the sort of book that truly speaks to the professional developer, discussing many of the challenges faced along with practical tips on best practices. The chapter on security is excellent - it spends as much time on the ideological basis for security as it does on implementation guidelines. This is a book that can be handed to any reasonable intelligent developer and put into practice quickly. Highly recommended.
All levels of experience are touched, and beautifully explained.
