Product Description

Perfectly suited to the innovative Problem Design Solution approach, ASP.NET MVC is a new development model that separates code for the data, look, and business processes of a Web site. This nuts-and-bolts guide thoroughly covers creating a Web site with MVC and discusses solving the most common problems that you may encounter when creating your first application or trying to upgrade a current application. The material is based on the highly praised and widely used TheBeerHouse ASP.NET Starter Kit that was developed in the bestselling ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming: Problem–Design–Solution. Additional coverage includes registration and membership systems and user-selectable themes; content management systems for articles and photos; polls, mailing lists, and forums; e-commerce stores, shopping carts, and order management with real-time credit card processing, and more.

From the Back Cover

ASP.NET MVC integrates powerful new functionality that enables you to create ASP.NET sites based on the important Model-View-Controller pattern. Beyond just understanding the key MVC benefits and coding techniques, you'll see how to implement the ASP.NET MVC pattern to build a complete real-world site.

Based on Marco Bellinaso's classic TheBeerHouse ASP.NET 2.0 site example, each chapter presents a business requirement for the site, a roadmap for designing a solution, and the code for implementing the features. By the end of the book, you'll have a complete functional site and the skills to build your own ASP.NET MVC content and e-commerce site.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Real Solution for MVC, August 7, 2009

By	W. Chesher "the maestro" (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The latest addition to the Problem - Design - Solution series updates TheBeerHouse personalized content site for the [...] MVC Framework. True to the the style of Problem - Design - Solution, the authors focus on a real set of solutions for real problems. The material doesn't dive too deep into the internals of MVC, nor do they assume too much about the user's knowledge.

If you are looking for a primer on MVC, this is not it, but if you are looking to jump into MVC with both feet and you would like to see the capabilities of the MVC Framework in action, this book is a great compliment to your learning process. I would not recommend this book for advanced MVC developers, but it is just right for those who are trying to make the leap from [...] 2.0/3.5 into MVC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great MVC Reference Book, October 26, 2009

By	C. S. Martin "geek" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book as a reference book for the MVC framework and was not disappointed. It has a ton of great examples such as building a forum, a store, articles, security, a content management system, integrating localization and more. The really nice part about the book is each chapter is a standalone how to guide for building a certain website feature. This is a great book to have on your shelf, I use it all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best organized book on MVC Framework out there, September 4, 2009

By	S. Weppner - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was exactly what I was looking for in an MVC Framework book. I had projects that needed to be done with the MVC Framework and TheBeerHouse project that comes with this book actually had a module that already did what I was looking for. Everything is very well organized and each chapter discusses a different web module that you will probably have to build on the web.

I totally disagree with the other reviewer recommending Sanderson's book over this one. I found Sanderson's book was geared for people starting at the very beginning. This book on the other hand is made for people going from ASP.NET Web-forms to MVC Framework. I don't have time to relearn what a class is. This book covers topics that are important to me such as using jQuery in my applications (an awesome lightweight javascript framework), and using LINQ. I would highly recommend this book.
