Book Review: Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# 2010

It?s a daunting task to author a book of over 1000 pages and maintain the interest of the reader. Matthew MacDonald is able to do so for several reasons. He maintains a good sense of humor and he is not afraid to express his opinion about a topic. Two examples come to mind. The first example is during his mention of the creation of a new Microsoft framework for the Internet called ?MVC.? He states that ?to some the MVC pattern is cleaner and more suited to the web, to others it?s a whole lot of extra effort with no clear payoff.? In regard to some of Microsoft?s practices he states, ?Microsoft has a time-honored reputation for creating innovative technologies and wrapping them in buzzwords that confuse everyone.? His examples are small and to the point and his goal is to be relentlessly practical as possible.? If you already have experience with ASP.NET and C#, the author directs you to read a companion volume Pro ASP.NET 4 in C# 2010 instead.<p><a more</a></p>
