Product Description

Review

"...provides a good all round insight" (MikesDotNetting.com, July 27th 2009)


Product Description

This book begins with you working along as Scott Guthrie builds a complete ASP.NET MVC reference application. He begins NerdDinner by using the File–>New Project menu command within Visual Studio to create a new ASP.NET MVC Application. You′ll then incrementally add functionality and features. Along the way you’ll cover how to create a database, build a model layer with business rule validations, implement listing/details data browsing, provide CRUD (Create, Update, Delete) data form entry support, implement efficient data paging, reuse UI using master pages and partials, secure the application using authentication and authorization, use AJAX to deliver dynamic updates and interactive map support, and implement automated unit testing.

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, 18 Jun 2009
I bought this and the Sanderson book at the same time. This book is good but not as in-depth. The example-first approach (chapter 1) is laudable, but be advised that this is two-fifths of the book, screenshot-heavy and in black and white (I say this because chapter 1 is available freely and in colour as a PDF). The remaining chapters are wll written but aren't sufficiently 'meaty'.

The authors are all key players in MVC, but unfortunately this is not the sum of their considerable intellect.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction to MVC, 2 Jul 2009
By Saksham Gautam "Saxam" (Muenchen) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book starts with a very gentle introduction to MVC and after one chapter you build your own application that even uses a VE Map. The first chapter is a really well written and contains an example application from Scott Gutherie. I had no prior experience with MVC, but the text was so easy to follow. This chapter is also freely available in PDF form at the author's website.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for MVC developers, 20 Jun 2009
By Martin J. Hart (Menorca, SPAIN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an absolute must to start to use MVC.

All levels of experience are touched, and beautifully explained.

But beware... you *will* become a MVC adict after reading this!

Martin.
