Book review • ASP.NET Web Forms is dead, only it isn’t really, because ASP.NET MVC is just different, and not a replacement, but it’s better, except for when it isn’t. So what do we do with it? Are ASP.NET Web Forms developers losing their job security if they don’t retrain? The answer is no, but it’s easy for a skilled developer to pick up ASP.NET MVC, especially if they have worked with web development pre-Web Forms. This book explains what ASP.NET MVC is all about.
This is a guide to getting software projects done and out of the door, from the publishing house started by the people who wrote The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master. This book is firmly aimed at the engineers doing the development work - there's little talk of requirements and scheduling, or other project management issues. This is all about using the right techniques to get your code working reliably, and your coders working together. Richardson and Gwaltney have experienced working on - and in some cases rescuing - many projects, and this book documents the practices they have found works best in their experience for getting software finished.
