HIGHLIGHT

An insider's perspective on the ASP.NET MVC framework, a highly-anticipated

product that forms the basis for the next version of ASP.NET.

DESCRIPTION

The MVC pattern is widely accepted as the best practice for web development

and is at the core of Rails, Zend Framework, and other modern web dev tools.

Microsoft's new ASP.NET MVC Framework offers a fully-supported way for

developers to implement MVC in ASP.NET.

ASP.NET MVC in Action is a comprehensive guide to MVC-based development

for Microsoft ASP.NET developers. It offers a clearly-written introduction

both to the ASP.NET MVC Framework and to the MVC approach. The focus

is on creating real, maintainable web applications, guiding readers from first-use

through real-life scenarios.

ASP.NET MVC in Action shows readers how to test each piece of an ASP.NET

application using the principles of test-driven development. This book assumes

that readers know how to build a standard ASP.NET application and presents

most examples in C#.

KEY POINTS

- Expert insider authors have been working with ASP.NET MVC since well

before it was publicly announced

- Written for the working ASP.NET developer

- Introduces test driven development and Agile processes--which may be

unfamiliar to Microsoft developers

MARKET INFORMATION

Microsoft's ASP.NET is one of the most popular web development tools available,

but it is no longer on the leading edge of innovation. Rails, Django,

Seaside, and other frameworks have challenged Microsoft to improve ASP.NET.

ASP.NET MVC represents the first major step in ASP.NET in many years, and

will be embraced rapidly by ASP.NET developers.
