Folks have been asking me for some time to do some ASP.NET MVC videos
Here are the first three. They start from the beginning and frequently compare ASP.NET MVC with concepts that you may already be familiar with from WebForms programming.
Enjoy! More to come.

Watched all your new vids they are already starting to fill in some blanks I have two books on MVC I’m working on a production site to put up keep them coming every little bit helps it’s good to see this is how to in Webforms and this is the way it’s done in MVC to bring it all together I think most developers are not going to be a Webforms developer or an MVC developer I think they are going to be both for a long time to come keep up the good work you folks at Microsoft are doing to open doors for the rest of us thanks
Good work Joe. I really appreciate you.

Yes, thanks for that more thorough exploration of the basics of MVC. None of the videos I’ve found so far had helped me decide if I wanted to shift from webforms. I think these videos have made it easier to decide.
If anyone’s interested, I doubt I’ll leave webforms. My background is in coding (TSRs for DOS using assembly language at one point) and I generally prefer coding "closer to the metal" than having everything abstracted. However, I’m just not "feeling" MVC.
The biggest dislike I have is the way MVC combines code and markup using <% %>. While it is obviously very powerful, I don’t something like this coming between me and my code. It also seemed to make some development aspects unnecessarily awkward.
BTW, HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol (not Transport Protocol).
Thanks again. I’m sure a lot of people are curious about MVC right now so I suspect these videos will be rather popular.

Hi Joe,
Looking forward to watching these videos. It was your ASP.NET Ajax videos, that got me up and running with Ajax a couple of years ago. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mark !
Great videos, but in my opinion some of us really need to know how can we do things we used to be able to do since there is no viewstate: Mainly, dropdown boxes that fire code that populates other dropdowns, etc. I would adopt MVC in a minute if I could easily overcome some of these challenges without writing obscure Java Script to accomplish what used to be easy tasks.
Thanks for the videos
Thanks Chris, As you saw in the videos that’s the focus I’ve taken and each video shows how to accomplish basic tasks that are probably familiar to you you from web forms. As the series progresses I’ll continue to demonstrate WebForms Concepts translated to MVC.
I’ve just wrote a massive post on the MVC 2 templating features, that you might find useful http://bit.ly/a48frG

Just becuase you read it on wikipedia doesn’t make it gospel.
"Transfer" is a relativly new reference.

Hi Joe
MVC stuff….it’s just horrible dude!
What is the benefits?
Thats a interesting fact
Hi Joe,
Thanks for these videos, I’m trying to teach myself ASP.NET MVC after starting out in the PHP/MySQL world.
I followed your second ASP.NET MVC For the Rest of Us tutorial line for line. I inserted my own hotmail credentials in the same format that you and Microsoft suggested, I was not able to send email. I downloaded the codes that you included with the tutorial and entered my own hotmail credentials, again, unable to send email.
At this point, I’m down on my luck. Any suggestions? Ideas? I’m using smtp.live.com as the mail server and port 25.
Hi Joe,
George here again. I have some good news, I figured out a solution to my previous dilemma, I add this line of code: smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
And it worked. Yahoo!!! Opps, I meant yeah.

I must admit I watched part of the video and thought you got that wrong. Showing your age a bit there methinks Joe.

Thank you so much, Joe! These videos are invaluable. I wanted to get my head around MVC before jumping into it — or deciding not to. Your videos are the best introduction I’ve seen. Your time making them was well spent.
Thanks Joe, incredible set of videos, other than the spelling errors
lol…
I’ve watched several videos, but feel like yours cover the basics very well, as well as, not rely on the built in tooling for displaying data, which is great!
Thanks for your work, hope to see more videos soon.
