The very first Chapter, the introduction, is just amazing. Steve gives you an overview of why ASP.NET MVC, then jump to a somehow sophisticated HelloWorld application. Later reader will dig in a real world shopping cart web application using ASP.NET MVC. later in the book, reader will find reference-like chapters about all important topics you will like to take a look back later when you start your real world development using this new technology. These chapters includes Data Entry, Ajax and client side scripting, deployment and so many other important points.

What really I did not like about the book was too much care about the TDD, which sometimes was over than what it required for maiin topic of the book, ASP.NET MVC. I am new comer to this area, so it is for somehow advised to get a previous look about TDD concepts somewhere, and take a look for the used tools in the book like NUnit and Moq.
