[mvc2inaction-discuss] Chapter 1 Feedback

[Thanh H. Pham]

Hi,
I have read the first chapter of this book. You are doing a great job
to produce this book.

I have a small suggestion on Chapter 1. The code there is much like
1st edition. I think it is better to use new syntax for HTML encoding <
%: %> and you can have a small description there.

For example Listing 1.3 I suggest to change to <%: ViewData["message"]
%>

The same in Listing 1.7


Idea here is to make the code a bit different from the first edition.
Most of reader have read your first book (I guess), so they will happy
with the second one.

Thanks,
Pham

Thank you for the suggestion. All the chapters are finalized and are being printed, but I was able to add a paragraph in the front matter to explain this syntax and our reasoning for using <%= (so that examples would work in VS 2008 as well.

The code examples for this book are mostly new.  Only about 10% are exactly the same as the 1st edition.  This new book is quite a bit different and new from the first edition, so I hope you enjoy the rest.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Palermo

I can see the new way you are using to write this second edition. I
just read a few first chapters from manuscript and see this is very
easy to follow. It does not contains a big application at first - and
I like that.

I can't wait to see the printed version of the book, surely I will
read it all from manuscript before printed version. but still get the
final version.

Have a great weekend,
Pham
