I am starting out with MVC on VS2010 RC, having done a lot with Web Forms previously, and have been working my way through various tutorials and guides for MVC 1.
My question is, is it worth buying an MVC 1 based book for use with MVC 2, or are they significantly different that that would make it confusing?
The reason I ask is because the MVC 2 books I am looking at are not due for publishing for another few months, and I haven’t come across any major issues while doing the Nerd Dinner tutorial – however, I am coming to the edge of what tutorials can give me, and would like an indepth book on the subject.
Regards

The best MVC1 book I have read is Steven Sanderson’s Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework. He is currently working on a new version which will be about MVC 2. The book is scheduled to be released in May 2010, but in the mean time you can have a look at his video series about MVC 2 on Tekpub. I haven’t watched them myself, but if they’re as good as his book, they’ll be well worth the money.
