ASP.NET MVC 4 in Action, 3rd Edition

Summary

ASP.NET MVC 4 in Action is a fast-paced tutorial designed to introduce ASP.NET MVC to .NET developers and show how to apply it effectively. All examples in this revised edition are based on ASP.NET MVC 4, so you’ll get full coverage of features such as the Razor view engine, Web Matrix helpers, and improved extensibility. You’ll see how your ASP.NET applications can benefit from changes in the .NET Framework.

About the Technology

ASP.NET MVC provides the architecture needed to separate an application’s logic and its UI. Because each component’s role is well defined, MVC applications are easy to test, maintain, and extend. The latest version, ASP.NET MVC 4, takes advantage of .NET 4 and includes powerful features like the Razor view engine, Web Matrix helpers, and enhanced extensibility.
