UI Best Practices Playbook for ASP.NET MVC

by Dino Esposito

User interface is not just important; it's the only thing that matters for end users. A specific, tailor-made user interface is sometimes necessary. More often though, you just need to pay more attention to how to code common tasks in web views.
