Programming Microsoft ASP.NET MVC

by Dino Esposito

Delve into the features, principles, and pillars of the ASP.NET MVC framework-deftly guided by Web development luminary Dino Esposito. ASP.NET MVC forces developers to think in terms of distinct components-model, view, controller-that make it easier to manage application complexity. Plunge into the framework's internal mechanics and gain a practical, what-why-how perspective behind each ASP.NET MVC building block. You'll understand how and when to use this programming model as an alternative to Web Forms-to gain full control of HTML, simplify testing and extensibility, and design better Web sites and experiences. As always, Esposito provides the detailed, insightful guidance and illustrative code samples you need to get productive quickly.

[Zoe · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK as a reference book, Dino's books seem to be repetitive and designed to just be plain long. Lots of information that would be easier to look up on MSDN than read in a book. That said, it's a thorough exploration of MVC. Probably not the best first book to read on MVC...

It's an interesting book to understand the .net mvc programming but it's only for real expert people, if you have no experience with this languange and pattern, it's not your book.
