I have two ASP.NET MVC books as follows:

• Programming ASP.NET MVC 2nd Edition by Dino Esposito (Microsoft Press)
• Professional ASP.NET MVC 4 by Jon Galloway, Phil Haack, Brad Wilson, K. Scott Allen (Wrox)

I must warn you that neither of these books are beginner books. Both of them basically assume that you are quite familiar with C#, HTML/CSS, and basic to intermediate web application programming. My background is mostly ASP Classic (VBScript), HTML/CSS and VBA. These books are working OK for me but I've been doing entry level to intermediate web programming off and on for about six years already.

I think a fairly good starting point is some videos you can find at YouTube. Just search on YouTube for "asp.net mvc step by step".

If you're trying to understand the Model View Controller architecture more fundamentally then you're probably headed the wrong direction. While there are surely similarities in implementation of the MVC architecture across almost all MVC frameworks, you must also realize that there are lots of differences too. MVC Architecture has been around since the late 70's.

Hello Shiv27,

Congratulations on your choice to learn MVC.

You can look at some tutorials here: http://www.asp.net/mvc/

Also, from what I gather the following texts and resources should aid you in your study:

An interesting book to begin with is: Test-Drive ASP.NET MVC (Pragmatic Programers) By Jonathan McCracken.
http://www.amazon.com/Test-Drive-ASP-NET-MVC-Pragmatic-Programmers/dp/1934356530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282153939&sr=8-1 

This book covers both Test Driven Development (TDD) and MVC 2.0, as well as some other essentials of application development.

Also, there is an online resource available which explains exactly what asp.net mvc is and how to use it: http://www.howmvcworks.net/Home/Topics

Happy Reading! Happy Learning!

With Kind Regards,
