Our Little Online Bookshop Using MVC and HTMLB
Purpose
In this tutorial we create the same online bookshop as in Tutorial 3 (
Our First Online Bookshop) but this time using MVC and HTMLB.

This has the advantage over the previous BSP application that you have several components on one page, where each component is represented by a controller and a view.
You should do this tutorial if you are used to creating BSP applications (ideally once you have completed all of the tutorials) and you want to use MVC and HTMLB to create your applications. You should also have already completed the short
Model View Controller Tutorial.

Creating Error Pages.
