Pro ASP.NET MVC 5 Description
The ASP.NET MVC 5 Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform. It provides a high-productivity programming model that promotes cleaner code architecture, test-driven development, and powerful extensibility, combined with all the benefits of ASP.NET.
ASP.NET MVC 5 contains a number of advances over previous versions, including the ability to define routes using C# attributes and the ability to override filters. The user experience of building MVC applications has also been substantially improved. The new, more tightly integrated, Visual Studio 2013 IDE has been created specifically with MVC application development in mind and provides a full suite of tools to improve development times and assist in reporting, debugging and deploying your code.
The popular Bootstrap JavaScript library has also now been included natively within MVC 5 providing you, the developer, with a wider range of multi-platform CSS and HTML5 options than ever before without the penalty of having to load-in third party libraries.

I have only made it through the first 4 chapters but I wanted to point out to anyone that was discouraged/frustrated (like me) with the 'small print' in the printed version or the errors/navigation/microfiche-print size issues with the PDF version -> that the Kindle version looks and works great. It is so much of an improvement that it has redeemed my Kindle in my eyes. I will probably bump this up to 5 stars if it is as good as the other Freeman books I bought (...at an Amazon competitor's online store because they were discounted below Amazon's price and...) in PDF format since...
...About 5 months ago, I got some technical manuals (math and physics) for my Kindle. While 'readable', the Kindle 'page format' was frustrating for me because I could not scroll to see an entire formula, code snippet/example or zoom out enough to see an illustration. Out of frustration, I tried some PDF versions on the Kindle and I had no more scroll/format issues with technical manuals. Subsequently, the Kindle was relegated to reading novels that work fine imitating a physical book with pages you turn, until now. Being able to easily read and navigate "Pro ASP.NET MVC 5" is worth more to me than being able to scroll. I do wish Amazon would add 'smooth scrolling' to all their books (or at least technical manuals/references) and hopefully, some day they will...
- Update 27 Feb 2014: 14 Chapters in now and found the other thing I disliked about tech manuals on the Kindle: You cannot copy and paste code because it embeds the author, title and publishing info in each copy plus concatenates everything you have selected into a single line.
