Sanderson explains ASP.NET MVC in context, why you'd want to switch from standard ASP.NET WebForms, what motivated Microsoft to create ASP.NET MVC (Rails, basically). An excellent introduction to the subject as well as appropriate drill-down into its mechanics. One of the things I love about this book is that it is a single author explaining the subject to you, and he writes to teach you, not just to lay out the facts.

Great book, and a pleasure to read. It teaches what Asp .NET mvc is by default out of the box (and why), and also how to extends it, like how to enable the use of good practises such as IOC and TDD, teaching them clearly if you don't know them yet. It gives all you need to be effective right now and safe, with good references to other sources if you want to dig deeper into specific subjects (rich UI ajax framework, IIS, security ...).
It's a good read for a lot of different people : agile develop...more

This is my favorite book on MVC. I read it over two years ago. Steve is doing an excellent job outlining the features and capabilities of asp.net mvc. He walks the reader through creating a fully working application in an early chapter in the book. After completing this application the reader is now familiar with the concepts the feel of asp.net mvc -this is very important especially for readers who have asp.net webforms background. Afterwards, Steve dives into the details of the asp.net mvc fra...more

The very first Chapter, the introduction, is just amazing. Steve gives you an overview of why ASP.NET MVC, then jump to a somehow sophisticated HelloWorld application. Later reader will dig in a real world shopping cart web application using ASP.NET MVC. later in the book, reader will find reference-like chapters about all important topics you will like to take a look back later when you start your real world development using this new technology. These chapters includes Data Entry, Ajax and cli...more

Superb book, taught me a lot of things and concepts regarding web development I completely ignored until the moment I finished reading it. Great job,

By far the best programming book I have ever read.

He doesn't just cover MVC, but all sorts of stuff like IoC, TDD, Compression, Monitoring, and a whole load more I can't remember right now. All in very easy to understand language and demonstration.

This does require a good handle on .Net 3.5 before you get into it, but if you have that background, it owuld be tough to find a better book.

Rarely do I read a technical book cover to cover but in this case I did. Though this edition covers version 1 of ASP.NET MVC rather than the current version 3, Steven Sanderson's clear and entertaining writing makes this an essential read for anyone interested in ASP.NET MVC.

Was probably good when it was current, but is now considerably dated. We have MVC 2 apps in production, but everything going forward will be MVC 3 and Razor. Start with a newer version.
