Reddit mentions of Professional ASP.NET MVC 5

Two books that I thought were good:

Pro ASP.NET MVC

Professional ASP.NET

I really like the book from the team itself, mvc 5

It does seem like MVC > WebForms. I'm trying to get better at it by following this book http://www.amazon.com/Professional-ASP-NET-MVC-Jon-Galloway/dp/1118794753/ref=pd_cp_b_0 . But I feel like it assumes you know WebForms or previous MVC's to be able to follow it. Do you have any advice where I could start as a beginner approach? Thanks

There are two good texts that I'd recommend, each have their own bright spots. Pro MVC 5 and Professional Asp.net MVC 5.

is the book I recommend. I learned how to do ASP MVC from it years ago.

One thing is what do you wanna do - ASP MVC 5 which is pretty established or ASP MVC 6, which has lots of features I'd say overwhelm a new beginner

I read "Professional ASP.NET MVC 3" about 3 years ago but it seems liek there is a MVC 5 version out now.

To your question about why is asp.net webforms becoming outdata. While there are many reasons I think the biggest is that MVC as a design pattern works really well web appplication development. Webforms is a great technology but it tries to enforce a stateful design pattern on web development which can make development harder. Stateful design patterns are better for desktop applications where as stateless applications are better for web applications. Lastly with MVC works better with a lot of the javascript frameworks out there that webforms really struggled to ingrate well with but a lot has been improved to fix this.

I'm currently learning MVC as well, and I went with the just-released Professional ASP.NET MVC 5 [1].

Reading the Amazon reviews, the Freeman book uses dependency injection via the open source library Ninject. That may be a common development approach for all I know, but I wanted to focus on learning MVC without any third party library requirements.

If anyone has thoughts on Freeman's approach, I'd be interested.

If you like video tutorials, another resource is a MVC 4 video tutorial offered free by Pluralsight. [2] They have subscription plan that looks reasonably priced, and it covers MVC 5. (The Pluralsight videos are narrated by K. Scott Allen, who is also one of the co-authors of the Galloway book.)

[2] http://pluralsight.com/training/Player?author=scott-allen&name=mvc4-building-m1-intro&mode=live&clip=0&course=mvc4-building

Look at this.
I put together this guide for web dev newcomers.
If you don't want to go through the whole guide, this video is really good at delivering an overview of a web application's different parts.

On another hand, if you pick a big good book (400+ pages)about a web framework (Rails for Ruby, Django for Python, ASP MVC for .NET,...), the authors will mention Angular, Auth, DB connections, Rest Api, as side or main topics.
Exemple of such books.

Hello,
Based on the comments until now i understand that you trying to learn asp.net core 2.
When i started my journey on asp.net i started with Professional ASP.NET MVC 5 great book.

For Asp.net Core i started with: Pro ASP.NET Core MVC its a nice book for asp.net core 1.

for asp.net core 2 i would suggest the Pro ASP.NET Core MVC 2 but with a slight hesitation because asp.net core 2 at the time of the publishing was still new.

Also this MVA course could help you.

If you need more info and tutorials - courses. Comment bellow and i will try to help you find the best courses for you.


Thanks.

I dont understand you kids these days. If you looking to learn something slightly complex BUY A FUCKING BOOK.

And get your employer to pay for it.
