    The Getting Started MVC area on this site is a great place to start as well if you want to start learning MVC outside of a book environment. It will cover just about everything that you would need to build complete applications and it is written by experts that apply best practices to help you build good habits for future applications.

    MVC Learning Tutorials (a bit older than the MVC tutorials on ASP.NET, but still worth going over)

    One of the most well regarded and complete MVC-based tutorials would be the ASP.NET MVC Music Store tutorial, which you can find under the MVC section of this site. However, any of the tutorials on this site should be great stepping stones to get you building your own complete MVC applications in no time.

    You can find a few other resources listing off countless other MVC-based tutorials below: 

    or the following more architecturally based examples :

    I would definately recommend the MVC Music Store Tutorial as well as the other ones available on this site (ASP.NET) and if you are still looking for more information after that, check out some of the other links I provided. If you are still looking for some additional tutorials or other MVC based projects, you might want to dig around on open-source sites like github and Codeplex and search for a bit more complex sites and projects.

    Book Recommendations

    • Pro ASP.NET MVC 4 Adam Freeman (and Steven Sanderson) provide an excellent introduction to ASP.NET MVC and hold your hand as your create your first MVC application and then things begin to rev up a bit in a title that covers MVC in a very comprehensive way. The book not only does a superb job of explaining how MVC applications operate and how to handle just about every situation that might arise when developing an MVC app.

    • Professional ASP.NET MVC 4 Written by a team of rock-stars in the .NET world, Professional ASP.NET MVC 4 is a great primer to get started with ASP.NET MVC after you have a bit of foundational work under your belt. Much like the previous title, this work covers MVC in its entirety and goes into a bit greater depth about topics that are close tangents to MVC such as jQuery, AJAX calls, dependency injection and more.

    If you look at the MVC section of this site (http://www.asp.net/mvc) you can see some recommended book at the bottom of the right hand column.
