Partial review of Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework

I've just finished the last chapter of part 1 of Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework. In this part, the author teaches me how to write a small online store where users can browse all products, filters the products by category, add products to cart, remove them from cart, and do check out. The store also has a basic administration area where the administrator can add/update/remove products (with theirs pictures).

What I learn from this part are

  • Understand the steps to create a real ASP.NET MVC application
  • How to write unit tests for routing/controllers with NUnit and Moq
  • There is a surprise that the author used Castle Windsor as IOC container for this application which I want to know the basic

I will continue with part 2, and for sure, I will come back with the review of part 2.

BTW, if you want to learn ASP.NET MVC in practical, you must read this book.

Windsor 2.0 is released

Today, Ayende and his team released Windsor 2.0. Even I'm more familiar with ActiveRecord than Windsor, I will use Windsor for my future projects. And, for sure, I will take a look at the upcoming version of MonoRail when it'll out as a competitor of ASP.NET MVC.

Congratulation!
