ASP.NET MVC 2 in Action

HIGHLIGHT An insider's perspective on the new ASP.NET MVC version 2 framework, expected to be released early-mid 2010. DESCRIPTION Microsoft ASP.NET MVC (model/view/controller) is a relatively new Web application framework that combines ASP.NET's power and ease of use with the stability and testability of a MVC framework. The much-anticipated version 2 release brings new capabilities to the framework along with numerous additions that enhance developer productivity. In ASP.NET MVC 2 in Action, readers learn how to move from web form-based development to designs based on the MVC pattern. It begins with an introduction to the MVC framework and quickly dives into a working MVC 2 project. Featuring full coverage of new version 2 features, this book helps readers use developer-oriented upgrades like "Areas" to break a large project into smaller pieces and explore the new data handling tools. This revised edition adds a completely new tutorial to bring developers with no prior exposure to the MVC pattern up to speed quickly, keeping its focus on providing high-quality, professional grade examples that go deeper than the other ASP.NET MVC books. KEY POINTS * Written by 4 ASP.NET MVPs (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals) * Fully updated for ASP.NET MVC version 2 * Includes high-quality, in-depth examples * Concise, developer-centric, "In Action" style * No fluff -- this book gets to the good stuff fast
