By the way, to other readers who may not use MVC yet... I have found the free chapter relating to this sample Nerd Dinner app to be VERY HELPFUL in learning Asp.Net MVC. I am very new to Asp.Net Webforms, and I switched some of my study time over to MVC, and I must say that I find it very easy to learn, assuming you have some pre-existing knowledge of the basic .Net platform and C# language.


Free chapter from book (PDF format): http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/03/10/free-asp-net-mvc-ebook-tutorial.aspx

Another helpful MVC getting started site is: http://www.HowMvcWorks.com
