Migration to ASP.NET MVC 4: Deployment.

We are developing ASP.NET MVC application. We are using a latest version of the frameworks. So I need to update a software after each framework's upgrade. It easy to do on the developer's machine: you can use web or standalone installer or nuget package.

Usual I used to run installer on the server for the previous version of ASP.NET MVC. But I noticed that installer for ASP.NET MVC 4 contains SQL Express Server and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. They are definitely not tools for the server's PC. I carried on with googling and found out that ASP.NET MVC 4 doesn't need any extra library in GAC. It requests .NET Framework (4 or 4.5) on the server and it all.

Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications - passed.

I have successfully passed Exam 70-486: Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications.

I used next sources for preparations:

• Developing in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 Jump Start. 
• I went throw HTML5&CSS4 features when preparing the next short presentation. It was really helpful for me. I want to share one of the source that I used for my presentation - html5rocks. It is very useful slides that describes and shows HTML5/CSS4 features.
• ASP.NET MVC Advanced Topics: there are a lot of useful courses. I took one of them, but honestly I am not sure that it was the best for preparation.
• And finally my experience.

From the other hand I filled problem with questions related to Azure and CSS. At least first one is topic for develop.
