ASP.NET MVC 2 is a delightful read for anyone wanting to learn more about the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern based on Microsoft technologies. The author, Steven Sanderson, first sets the groundwork for the example store application by explaining and demonstrating Test Driven Design methodology. This methodology is exercised in subsequent chapters as he explains and describes the core components of MVC with ASP.NET. Each core component chapter is given a thorough explanation; using the Repository design pattern and concentrating domain logic within the model layer, restricting domain logic and compartmentalizing common action behavior into filters within the controller layer, and composition of data into view models within the view layer. Furthermore, the author dives into the depths of the ASP.NET MVC processing pipeline, by discussing routing, controller discovery, action invocation, and view rendering. The book ends with deploying an ASP.NET MVC project and integration features with existing ASP.NET Platform features. An overall excellent book for anyone wanting to learn ASP.NET MVC, or brush up on their web application skills.
