Book recommendation: Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework (APress)

These days I'm ploving through Steve Sanderson's book Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework. The reason why I feel like I need to recommend this book is because of the fact that it isn't just your average "Learn [insert-technology-of-choice]"-book.

No, the author goes to great lengths to get you properly suited before diving into ASP.NET MVC, and indeed MVC in essence. He covers areas like Inversion of Control (IoC), Dependency Injection (DI) and introduces Castle Windsor (which is an IoC-container). He then gets you started writing automated tests (Unit Tests and Integration Tests) and explains why that is cool.

The book is divided into two seperate parts. One where you learn all the things you need to know before getting your hands dirty. And one where you, ofcourse, get your hands dirty. With this book under your belt, I'm quite positive you will be well on your way to becoming a proficient ASP.NET MVC developer.

Happy reading!
