Async Controller in ASP.NET MVC 3 (and 4)

"The .NET CLR can give your web application a significant performance boost compared to other platforms such as PHP due to it's compiled nature. Not only does your .NET code perform better because it's more low-level, it also comes with good support for parallel programming. This guide will not explain the basics of a responsive and fast web application by talking about CSS minifying, sprites, content delivery networks, etc. Instead this guide will be an essential guide for making sure you don't miss any features that can enhance the performance of your ASP.NET MVC3 application.

"One common problem with the naming convention and default routing mechanism in ASP.NET MVC is that we tend to group actions in a controller for sharing an URL space. This basically leads to complex controllers with a lot of unrelated methods that break the SOLID principles. Too many responsibilities in a simple class affects maintainability in the long run and causes secondary effects that complicates unit testing. For example, we usually end up with class constructors that receives too many dependencies as it is discussed here in SO."

"In case you did not see the latest news, what we used to know as WCF Web API was recently rebranded and included in ASP.NET MVC 4 as ASP.NET Web API. While both frameworks are similar in essence with focus on HTTP, the latter was primarily designed for building HTTP services that don't typically require an user intervention. For example, some AJAX endpoints or a Web API for a mobile application. While you could use ASP.NET MVC for implementing those kind of services, that would require some extra work for implementing things right like content-negotiation, documentation, versioning, etc. What really matter is that both framework share many of the extensibility points like model binders, filters or routing to name a few."

This link helped me the most in terms of figuring out how to implement jQuery validation with MVC. It includes a sample app that is very useful.

"Model-View-Controller (MVC) is probably the most cited example of an architectural software pattern. It was conceived by Trygve Reenskaug working in the SmallTalk group at Xerox Parc in 1978. One motivation for the pattern was the separation of concerns: to allow Model objects to be concerned only with modeling business capabilities, not with how their data and methods were presented to the user, nor with capturing or responding directly to user inputs.[1] "

"Now, I will show one real-world example which you may use it in your daily work of developing applications with ASP.NET MVC and jQuery."

"A little bit of thinking and compromise can remove unnecessary complexity from the routes in an MVC application. "

After a mammoth effort by Jarrod Dixon the team's production profiler is now ready for an open source release. http://code.google.com/p/mvc-mini-profiler/ Let me start with a bold claim. Our open-source profiler is perhaps the best and most comprehensive production web page profiler out there for any web platform.

" Naked Objects takes a domain object model, written as POCOs but following a few very simple conventions, and dynamically creates one or more complete user interfaces for it, using reflection (not 'code generation' or 'scaffolding'). It is highly effective in support of Domain-Driven Design, OO Modelling, and/or Agile Development. Naked Objects MVC builds upon the core framework to create a complete web-based user interface, using ASP.NET MVC 3. The generic user interface may be customised via the .CSS, by adding custom views, or custom controllers, as needed. Entity Framework is used to persist objects on a database. Security may be handled simply via Forms Authentication and attribute-based authorisation, or more comprehensively via Microsoft WIF and an STS. "
