Quick Start with ASP.NET MVC 0406 MVC Interim Source Code Release

This is intended to be a quick start for anyone who want to start playing with the latest version of ASP.NET MVC without going through the origin and goals of the MVC pattern. I will use the ASP.NET 0416 MVC Interim Source Code Release for this. Keep in mind, that this will probably all change in a near future.

First step, download and build the source. You will need to have the Moq library (more about this mocking framework in a future post).

Second, download and install the Visual Studio MVC Templates (execute the vsi file).

Third, start an ASP.NET MVC project.

I have two useful resources to share with you. I believe they will give you a head start.

You have the Scott Hanselman’s screencast series on the ASP.NET web site. And you have the MVC Storefront series from Rob Conery.
