Should I learn asp.NET MVC 3 without knowledge of MVC 1 or 2?

Question

FYI, I know asp.NET and planning to learn asp.NET MVC. I heard that asp.NET MVC 3 has been released . Should I learn MVC 3 right now? or should I start with MVC 1 or 2?

Thanks

Answer 1

The core principles are all the same so learning MVC 3 would be the way to go. "Learning" 1 or 2 first would just mean you'd initial knowledge of the framework is already out of date. I always advice against learning older versions of frameworks because you often have to unlearn things when you get to the newest version of the framework

Answer 2

Start with 3 - it's in iterative build upon 2 which was iterative upon 1. If you learn 1 you will learn ways to do things that have been streamlined and improved in 2 and 3.
