ASP.NET MVC is not only useful but highly powerful. However, with great power comes great responsibility (and in technology: great requirements), resulting in a steep learning curve. This article is not focused on professional ASP.NET MVC developers (I suppose they do know everything I will write in this article), but is dedicated to people who just started developing in ASP.NET MVC (3) or plan to do so.
Most tips and source codes will be focused on the MVC core while others are focusing on techniques that could be used in combination like the Entity Framework or the jQuery validation helper. This article will also contain more specialized topics like IoC with the Unity dependency resolver or working with MySQL databases instead of Microsoft SQL ones. Even though some tips might be irrelevant for some people and other tips might be known by other people, I considered them all worth to be written down.
This article will not try to teach you MVC, HTML, JavaScript or CSS. In this article I will give you a series of (not-connected) tips, which could be helpful while dealing with ASP.NET MVC. Some of those tips might become obsolete with time, however, every tip will contain a lesson (or did contain one for me when I’ve been caught!).
