Book Review: Programming Microsoft ASP.NET MVC, 2nd Edition |
|
With lots of talk and attention being given to ASP.NET MVC, it has become necessary for any ASP.NET developer to master ASP.NET MVC concepts. Programming Microsoft ASP.NET MVC, 2nd Edition by Dino Esposito provides a very good understanding of the subject. Before I describe the contents of the book, however, I would like to tell you that this is not a tutorial or step-by-step kind of book neither it is for absolute beginners. Also, though it contains code snippets it doesn't give heavy or elaborate code listings usually found in many books. So, if you are looking for something of that sort you might want to look into some other titles. |

Book Review : ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook |
|
When you start learning new technology, one way is to follow start-to-end kind of approach where step by step you build your skills from basic to advanced concepts. The other approach, which is often fast and efficient, is to learn by working examples. ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook by Packt Publishing follows such an approach. The book presents over 70 code recipes in ASP.NET MVC to make you up and running with MVC 2 quickly. Note, however, that book doesn't delve too much on the theory of MVC. It focuses on practical implementation of MVC with the help of small small examples. |

Pro WPF - Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 3.0 |
|
When Microsoft introduced .NET framework the Windows Forms engine caught attraction of many desktop application developers. Especially VB6 developers found Windows Forms more powerful than their current environment. No doubt Windows Forms engine was better than VB6 forms development. However, it didn't solved all the problems. In fact at many places the Windows Forms engine acted just as a wrapper to the classic controls and objects. The situation is poised to change dramatically with availability of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) introduced in .NET 3.0. |
