Get up and running with ASP.NET MVC 4, and learn how to build modern server-side web applications. This guide helps you understand how the framework performs, and shows you how to use various features to solve many real-world development scenarios you’re likely to face. In the process, you’ll learn how to work with HTML, JavaScript, the Entity Framework, and other web technologies. You’ll start by learning core concepts such as the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern, and then work your way toward advanced topics. The authors demonstrate ASP.NET MVC 4 best practices and techniques by building a sample online auction site ("EBuy") throughout the book.
Guida passo passo per la creazione di un sito con MVC 4. Copre tutti gli aspetti basilari, dando una buona infarinatura e la capacità di mettere in piedi un progetto. Semplice e completo. Introduce Razor, routes, Actions, Views, Layouts, Models, approccio alla memorizzazione con Entity Framework, validazione dei dati, javascritp con jquery, ajax. Poi mi sono fermato perché andava troppo nel dettaglio se non si mette in piedi davvero un progetto.

After reading this book I am not sure about it. It seems to give a good overview of MVC 4 for beginners to MVC programming methodology. It has basically given me a reading list of other things I need to learn where I do not believe it went in depth enough. On the other hand, it has given me the tools to do what I need to do in MVC.
Ultimately this book's goal, "to help you to build a complete understanding of the ASP.NET MVC 4 Framework from the ground up," was lost in a tour of interesting ways of using Visual Studio's implementation of this pattern.
It's pretty good, and I really like the sections on architecture and best practices. I do find it annoying that there is so much content focusing on jQuery. In terms of the "single responsibility principle", that should be dealt with elsewhere.
