I am an experienced asp.net web forms developer using c# but i have never used asp.net MVC. As I am just starting out with mvc i would like to start with mvc 2.

I am looking for a good intro/tutorial to help me understand the basics. I am aware of the Nerd Dinner but that is based around MVC 1.

What would you guys recomend for me to get started. Should i work through the nerd dinner tutorial then once i have a good understanding of mvc then research the new features of mvc 2 or is there a similar getting started tutorial for mvc 2.

Sugestions of good books to read are also welcome. In fact any advice on getting started on mvc 2 would be good.

You could work thru NerdDiner. The CodePlex project supports version 2.0 and can be found at: http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/

Scott Guthrie has some good pointers on what is new in ASP.NET MVC 2.0.

So would you say learning ASP.NET MVC 1.0 wouldn't be a waste of time? In MVC 2.0 is it just extra features or have some things from MVC 1.0 been deprecated? ... I'd rather buy a full book on MVC 1.0 first if its worth it.

It to me, is a superset of features. They did change some things in terms of model validation, but generally it works the same.

I used Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework, which I would recommend in your case. The book is written for MVC 1, but as Daniel said, MVC 2 basically adds a few features rather than changes things. In fact a few MVC 2 only features are touched on in this book because they were already in the MVC Futures library on codeplex.

The MVC 2 Version of this book is scheduled to be released in a matter of days.

Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework is a great book.
