Programming ASP.Net MVC

With a series of hands-on exercises, Programming ASP.NET MVC gets you started with the popular model-view-controller pattern for web applications, using the new ASP.NET 3.5 MVC framework. As you progress through the book, you'll design, build, and deploy a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 application based on Dimecasts.com, a popular video training site for .NET developers. In the process, you'll make good use of ASP.NET 3.5, LINQ, AJAX, jQuery and the Entity Framework. This practical book teaches you how to build dynamic applications that separate data components (the Model) cleanly from the user interface (the View), so you can easily change one without affecting the other. After receiving a complete introduction to Microsoft's MVC Framework, experienced ASP.NET developers learn how to: Design, build, and deploy a robust Web 2.0 application the agile way Leverage the ADO.NET Entity Framework to create the application Model Build reusable components to create the View Bind objects from the Model to the View to create the Controller Use existing ASP.NET features, like forms/windows authentication, output and data caching, and more Conduct unit testing with best practices provided in the bookYou'll discover that testing applications is much easier, making unit testing a key advantage of any MVC project. Programming ASP.NET MVC not only teaches you to think about web development with the MVC Framework, it also gives you valuable experience you need to build your own applications.
