Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework

UK-based freelance web developer, consultant, and trainer Sanderson presents discussion, documentation, and a substantial hands-on tutorial of the new ASP.NET MVC Framework for web development. The text is targeted at professional sofware developers who already have a working understanding of C# and general web development concepts such as HTML and HTTP, who may also have used traditional ASP.NET, or PHP, Rails, or another web development platform. The text includes chapters covering the basics, including MVC and its relationship with modern web application architecture and testing, followed by material on each major technology area in the MVC Framework, exploring how to get the maximum benefit from each feature, and descriptions of important ancillary topics such as security, deployment, and integrating with or migrating from legacy WebForms code.
