I've found a few pages (some that even link to a number of other pages) on the Microsoft website that I bookmarked last night for reading today, but I'm curious as to other good non-Microsoft resources for discussing ASP.NET web applications, both Forms and MVC (including comparisons/contrasts between the two).

As a first port of call, I would use a social bookmarking network site, such as Delicious, to get a list of popular/tagged posts and sites:

Phil Haack's blog seems to be a good source. He's an insider and can tell you the tricks there are to know. In the end it all depends on how you prefer to learn - some people like videos, others prefer books. For me the best way is to learn by doing it. So take a look at Phil, go to CodePlex and find a project that uses ASP.NET MVC and look at the code. That way you'll also see how people solved their problems and what practices they followed, not only learn the rules of the framework.

Keep your eye out on the MVC forums, read up on blogs:
- Phil Haack
- Scott Hanselman
- Rob Conery
- Simone Chiarretta
- Derik Whittaker
- Me :)
- Jeremy Skinner
- Torkel Odegaard
- Steve Sanderson
There's a ton of people blogging about it. Also, check out some of the open source projects that are using it:
There's a bunch of books coming out:
- Pro ASP.NET MVC by Steve Sanderson
- Programming ASP.NET MVC by Alex Horovitz
- Beginning ASP.NET MVC by Simone Chiaretta
- Professional ASP.NET MVC by Phil Haack, Scott Hanselman, Rob Conery
ASP.NET MVC in Action by myself, Jeffrey Palermo, and Jimmy Bogard
I think you can guess which one I recommend most :). Our book has an early access program that allows you to download PDFs as they're written.

Any thing else I should add to this list? I'm marked it as community wiki.

Shameless promotion there, Ben! That said, I just bought it, so the advertisement worked!
