In Test-Drive ASP.NET MVC (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $32.95 USD), author Jonathan McCracken shows you all you need to know to get started developing web applications using test-driven development (TDD) in ASP.NET MVC.
From building your first page, to data access, to integrating with web services such as Blogger.com, Test-Drive ASP.NET MVC guides you step by step. You'll come away with a complete understanding of web services and data access, and you'll learn how to test each component so that your code is bug-free and maintainable from the start. You'll see how to handle security, logging, and error handling. Then, you'll protect your site with ASP.NET MVC's advanced security features.
Software isn't useful until it's deployed into production. You'll see how to do automated deployment using MSBuild, a build tool product that can help you get your site online repeatably and reliably. Throughout, you'll work with open source projects that complement ASP.NET MVC, including NHibernate, MVCContrib, and Castle Windsor Container. These tools speed up developing database components, architecture layers, and testing your code.
As you build and deploy your application, you'll not only learn the framework itself, but also gain valuable experience with the test-first methodology, driving your application development through small and measurable incremental improvements.
In short, if you work in the Microsoft space, you need this book.
