Fully updated for ASP.NET MVC 3. Delve into the features, principles, and pillars of the ASP.NET MVC framework-deftly guided by web development luminary Dino Esposito. ASP.NET MVC forces developers to think in terms of distinct components-Model, View, Controller-that make it easier to manage application complexity, while allowing strict control over the markup. Plunge into the framework's internal mechanics and gain perspectives on how to use this programming model versus Web Forms, and begin building your own MVC-based applications quickly.
