Asp.Net MVC - refresher course

Question

When MVC first appeared, I read about it every day and studied everything I could. Around the time MVC 2 RC2 came out, I stopped learning for various reasons (new home, new job, laziness).

Now I want to go back to MVC ... I have half the written blog that I want to finish, but I feel rusty when it comes to something MVC. Can someone provide me with good links to continuing education courses in MVC? I do not need to learn from scratch, but I want to update and then learn about the changes from MVC 2 RC2 to MVC 3.

EDIT: Does anyone know ETA when MVC 3 is about to release? Should I convert my current MVC 2 project to MVC 3 ... or wait for RC?

Answer 1

You can always get to the ASP.NET MVC website

http://www.asp.net/mvc

I don’t know about you, but I’m better looking and writing code to understand what’s going on. John Galloway exhibited MVC Music Store, I believe this has been updated for MVC 2

http://mvcmusicstore.codeplex.com/

Nerd Dinner code for MVC 2 has also been updated.

http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/releases/view/45647

Finally, Phil Haack has MVC 2 updates on his blog, which has a number of links to tell you what has changed from 1 to 2. This post is probably the most valuable information if you just want to know what has changed from 1 to 2.

Answer 4

Microsoft has a good page on ASP.NET MVC 2 , which has tutorials covering the most important aspects of this structure, as well as a few links to blog posts that go into more detail. This would seem like a pretty natural place to start.

For MVC 3, the best resource currently seems to be Scott Gu's introductory blog .
