@Harikrishna I believe VS2008 is the 1st version to support ASP.net MVC but you can install them side by side and there are free express editions of Visual Studio
TJB
@TJB, if I install vs2008 express then mvc will come with it or I have to download and install it separately.
Harikrishna
@Harikrishna VS2008 requires a seperate install, I would recommend installing VS2010 which comes with MVC2.0 installed out of the box. Express editions are available for both.
TJB
@TJB, but I have already downloaded free express 2008 then for mvc download what should I do ?

Two seminal examples have been published with lots of documentation:

Nerd Dinner : http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/
This was built against MVC 1.0 so some of the syntax is a bit outdated but is still applicable and it goes through several facets of your typical MVC application. There is a link on the homepage there to a walk through available in PDF and HTML form.

MVC Music Store : http://mvcmusicstore.codeplex.com/
This example is made to demonstrate some of the new MVC 2.0 features and other new MVC practices. It also has a vast document walking through the creation of the website and its code. Download the code and read the documentation.

These are by no means the best but it comes straight from the source (Microsoft dev team) and are a good start for beginners.

The reference @Kane gave it great. There are a number of tutorials and videos. But you can also read some blogs like: haacked.com or http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/.

Also there is a great codeplex project kigg that is good to look over and review.

http://kigg.codeplex.com/

Those are a few more resources to consider. Also don't forget here on SO. There are a lot of the problems that people have encountered and can be a good resource.
