From the Back Cover ASP.NET MVC offers you control over generated HTML and scripts, clean and user-friendly URLs, and clean separation between your UI and code. While traditional ASP.NET Web Forms are beneficial for rapid web development, they are not test-friendly. Thankfully, Test Driven Development (TDD) and ASP.NET MVC provide you with a reliable methodology that decreases the risk for errors when developing web applications. Together, ASP.NET MVC and TDD are direct and clear about what is happening on your page, what gets rendered, and how it gets there, and they do not allow anything to appear that you didn't put there yourself. This practical guide shows you how to write a real-world web site from conception to production. After a detailed description of the project you'll build, you'll encounter several problems during the process and learn the tools and techniques necessary to solve them. Each chapter introduces the various concepts and features of ASP.NET MVC that will help you implement a solution to a specific problem. Along the way, you'll be exposed to all facets of web application development, such as requirements, design, testing, deployment, beta releases, refactoring, and tool and framework selection, that will arm you with a thorough understanding of best practices for web development using TDD. What you will learn from this book Ways that ASP.NET MVC is well suited to testability and TDD Various concepts such as unit testing frameworks and tools, inversion of control and dependency injection, code coverage, mocking, javascript libraries, and Ajax How the new features of ASP.NET MVC 1.0 integrate with standard ASP.NET 3.5 features How TDD allows you to make changes more frequently and fix bugs easily, while reassuring you that your changes didn't break anything How to use various tools and frameworks within your ASP.NET MVC project Ways to improve your development experience and code quality Who this book is forThis book is for developers who are interested in improving their web application development skills. No previous experience of working with ASP.NET MVC is assumed. ASP.NET examples are shown in C#.

From the Back Cover Building an effective e-commerce site requires a diverse set of skills and an understanding of how to use a variety of tools and technologies. With .NET E-Commerce Programming, you not only sharpen your programming skills but also get a full set of code solutions for building an online store. Written for experienced programmers, this book details the entire process of planning, building, and managing an online store with Visual Basic .NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and SQL Server 2000. It begins with an overview of technology and terminology, and then moves on to planning, showing you how to design the database for the store. In this phase, you'll use Visio for Enterprise Architects to translate requirements into SQL code. From there, you'll begin building the shopper interface, creating a catalog, shopping basket, and check-out process, and adding features that will enable users to view their order history and edit their profiles. You'll create and implement cohesive, browser-based functionality for managing the catalog, taxes, shipping charges, and orders. Database, front end, and management-those are the essentials. You get much more, though: advice on selecting and managing a server, tips for implementing up-sell and cross-sell marketing tactics, and instructions on localizing your store for consumers worldwide.
