I'm looking for a book on MVC. I've tried diving head-first into it without any documentation, but I didn't really learn about the core concepts. I'm a hands on kinda guy, so the ideal book would teach me the concepts and then allow me to implement them with mini-projects.
There are plenty of books to choose from on Amazon, but recommendations would be helpful.

Well the first chapter or so, but it gets you started.
Plus you can buy the full book.
I found this helpful for learning MVC (in fact it's all I've read on MVC, other than code)
Honestly, if you're a hands-on type of guy find some online tutorials and run through those. I don't know about you, but those books tend to put me to sleep after a chapter or two. Actually looking online and writing samples and whatnot tends to be far more valuable to me. :)
If I were you, I'll go online tutorials, best tutorial in MVC online ins the ASP.NET MVC
