What are the best learning resources to teach ASP.NET MVC to an ASP.NET programmer?

Question

What materials do you recommend for an experienced ASP.NET to learn ASP.NET MVC?

Answer 1

If you learn by reading books I would suggest checking out Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0. It is written by Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack, Scott Guthrie and Rob Conery. Here you can download a whole chapter of the book for free which walks you through building an application entitled, "Nerd Dinner", from start to finish.

If you learn by example, then perhaps you would like to check out "Haackoverflow". It is a Stackoverflow-esque site created in ASP.NET MVC where you can post questions and answers. You can watch the video of it being created here on channel9.

Finally, if you are a visual learner I would highly suggest checking out the tutorial videos on the official ASP.NET MVC website. They cover topics such as routing, views, controller, validation, security, etc.

When searching the net or watching videos, be sure they are for version 1.0 or greater. There have been some breaking changes from the pre-release versions and they will only serve to confuse you.
