ASP.NET MVC quick start - a one-stop tutorial?

Question

There are many ASP.MVC blog post bits and pieces scattered over different web sites, as well as couple of resource questions here - ASP.NET Model-view-controller (MVC) - where do I start from? and MVC Learning Resources

I wonder if there was a one-stop tutorial posted yet on getting started with ASP.NET MVC?

Thank you!

Edit: I probably need to clarify - a one-stop tutorial that'd help to get started within and hour or two and learn more as I go... Reading books is a non starter for me personally - takes more time I can afford and starts with basics...

Answer 1

http://www.asp.net/mvc

Whoops, submitted before I was done. The ASP.NET MVC site has tons of videos/screencast on getting started with ASP.NET MVC. Definitely watch the Scott Hanselman ones first.

Edit

The Rob Conery screencasts that @David provided are provided on the ASP.NET MVC site also, under videos. That would constitute one spot to get those resources and also the ones the ASP.NET MVC team put out.

One note on any resource you use. You could run into functionality that is no longer available in the framework due to it being in development. If you use the resources provided that you already found along with the tutorials, you will find the replacements or how to get around it.

Answer 2

Quickstart gives a good overview of all features.

Answer 3

Have you looked at MVC Samples on CodePlex? Rob Conery has some screencasts that go along with the creation of the site at http://blog.wekeroad.com/mvc-storefront/.

Answer 4

Don't forget Scott Guthrie's blog. Latest news on MVC. The "official" site is two releases behind.

Answer 5

Hopefully, as we get closer to release, http://asp.net/mvc will be the one stop shop for ASP.NET MVC related issues.

Answer 6

In addition to the above mentioned:

• http://weblogs.asp.net/stephenwalther
• Asp.net MVC in Action looks to be a good book.

Answer 7

We just recently released the beta version of TheBeerHouse MVC Edition which should give you some great examples. There is also a book written explaining everything, but you will have to wait a little longer for that to come out :D.

Answer 8

Scott Guthrie wrote a free complete end to end tutorial of creating a full web application using MVC and it touches on most of the major pieces of MVC:
