[Book Review] ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook
A short while back I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing Packt Publishing's ASP.NET MVC 2 Cookbook and since it was right up my alley, I accepted. So over the past 6 weeks or so, I've been reading the book as I've gotten a chance. While the book covers ASP.NET MVC 2, most of it is still quite relevant to MVC 3. If you have already gotten started with ASP.NET MVC, but are not a power user, this book is a must have in your collection. I've been using ASP.NET MVC since Guthrie first announced it and I learned a few tricks as well.

We have decided to offer these gents positions on the S# team.
