Professional ASP.NET MVC 2

by John Galloway, Phil Haack, Scott Hanselman

Top-selling MVC book from a top team at Microsoft—now fully updated! ASP.NET MVC 2.0 is now available and shipping with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4. A new update to Microsoft’s Model-View-Controller technologies, MVC 2 enables developers to build dynamic, data-driven Web sites.  Professional ASP.NET MVC 2  shows you step-by-step how to use MVC 2. You’ll learn both the theory behind MVC 2, as well as walk through practical tutorials, where you’ll create a real-world application. Topics include transitioning from ASP.NET development, as well as an overview of related tools and technologies, including LINQ, jQuery, and REST. This book is for web developers who are looking to add more complete testing to their web sites, and who are perhaps ready for "something different." 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.

Great book! You can build a simple application only from reading the first two chapters. The rest of the book will give you deep knowledge in ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET in general. Some insights thoughts are very interesting too. Looking for the ASP.NET MVC 3 edition.

Great MVC book, better than the one by Dino Esposito's. Dino catalogues all the components you can customize in MVC better, but this book gave me a better understanding of how to build MVC apps.
