Book Reviews of Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0 (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)
Book Review: A Good Hands-on introduction to ASP.NET MVC
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not quite sure about the Pro part in the Wrox's Professional ASP.NET MVC but it's definitely a good introductory to intermediate hands-on starting book if you are interested in learning ASP.NET MVC framework. Starting with a `real world' sample of Nerd-Dinner, the book is organized to facilitate the `learn by example' method of training. Common problems, pitfalls and tips are neatly highlighted in the concise text filled with examples and sample code; not one of those overwhelming printed code books when authors decide to print the entire listing of their source code. Here, code is brief and in snippet forms; a balanced annotated mix and shown only when needed with screenshots of outputs. The text covers the core topics of ASP.NET MVC architecture and design including but not limited to models, routing, controllers, views, actions, filters and extended items such as TDD with MVC, Security Ajax and web forms hybrid approaches.
With a star studded line up of Rob Conery, Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack and Scott Guthrie, I found the book to be well written and non-encyclopedic (it's a good thing). From what I can see, it's not written to target a web forms developer trying to `upgrade' to MVC but more of an introduction to MVC as a design pattern and how to build web applications using MVC in ASP.NET; this was a very good approach. Authors even provided introduction to platforms implementing MVC (Ruby on Rails, Django, Spring, Struts, Zend, MonoRail etc) when discussing state of MVC on the web which is quite informative for those new to the concept. What I liked most about the book was that it addresses practical problems such as modifying the existing lookup routes (url's for views), aspect oriented features, error handling, discussion on view and domain models, url rewriting etc. All I can say is that along with Jeffrey Palmero's "ASP.Net MVC in Action" for a more in-depth look, Professional ASP.NET MVC is going to stay on my desk as a reference for some time.
