Professional ASP.NET MVC 2

Chapter 1. NerdDinner

The best way to learn a new framework is to build an application with it. This first chapter walks you through how to build a small, but complete, application using ASP.NET MVC 2 and introduces some of the core concepts behind it.

The application we are going to build is called NerdDinner. NerdDinner provides an easy way for people to find and organize dinners online (Figure 1-1).

NerdDinner enables registered users to create, edit, and delete dinners. It enforces a consistent set of validation and business rules across the application (Figure 1-2).
