About this ebook

The ASP.NET MVC 5 Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform. It provides a high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility, combined with all the benefits of ASP.NET.

ASP.NET MVC 5 contains a number of advances over previous versions, including the ability to define routes using C# attributes and the ability to override filters. The user experience of building MVC applications has also been substantially improved. The new, more tightly integrated, Visual Studio 2013 IDE has been created specifically with MVC application development in mind and provides a full suite of tools to improve development times and assist in reporting, debugging and deploying your code.

The popular Bootstrap JavaScript library has also now been included natively within MVC 5 providing you, the developer, with a wider range of multi-platform CSS and HTML5 options than ever before without the penalty of having to load-in third party libraries.

This book is pretty good, but a little bit fluffy. There are entire chapters that could be removed without impacting the educational value of the book, and yet there are concepts that ought to have been included that have been left out. This book contains about 3/5ths of the content one would require to become a successful MVC developer. I would not recommend this book if you are a beginner, beginner in the .NET environment, or have little experience with MVC. I personally have about 7 years in the Microsoft Development Environments, and still had a difficult time scoping out the useful portions of the book, most of which left me desiring much, much more.

The book is far too fluffy for my needs. There are too many words which, in my opinion, do not provide adequate insight into the topics and code examples. I read the first 10 chapters of this book, and I determined it to be a waste of my time. I would not recommend this book, or any other book I have purchased/received from Apress.
