ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook

Abstract

Ten years ago, ASP.NET provided software developers with a means to write complex web applications with their existing Windows Forms skillsets. Today, it continues to be a robust framework for writing scalable applications, from small e-Commerce to enterprise-level CRM. But ten years later, with many business critical applications existing solely on the Web, the Forms paradigm is less relevant. ASP.NET MVC, based on Ruby On Rails, is now in its second release, with a third around the corner—a powerful framework based on new and old ideas, ASP.NET MVC allows the developer to work with web protocols and standards, while still making use of the industry-standard development environment—Visual Studio.
