Resources for learning ASP.NET MVC 2.0 [closed]

Question

What are some good resources for learning ASP.NET MVC 2.0 (if I don't already know ASP.NET MVC 1.0)?

Answer 1

Tekpub (Steven Sanderson and Rob Conery) is doing a video series on MVC 2: http://tekpub.com/preview/aspmvc

Answer 2

Obviously the first resource I'd point you to is the official ASP MVC website here.

Perhaps the biggest and most key aspect you need to understand about ASP.NET MVC is that MVC isn't explicitly specialised for ASP.NET - it's a very wide design pattern - MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, you should really read up on MVC and gain a general understanding before you dive straight into the ASP.NET implementation.

You may want to look into buying a book that can nicely ease you into ASP.NET MVC. The reviews on amazon are something you want to take into account, as they're usually very accurate.

You can find results of a ASP.NET MVC search here.

As far as your concerns around version 1 to version 2 of ASP.NET MVC go, you shouldn't automatically dismiss any ASP.NET MVC v1 resources you come across - the chances are it's still relevant. You may wish to check out the changelist between v1 and v2 to see if anything you learn is now redundant, updated or changed in any way.
