Sorry about the delay – I was interrupted by the new ASP.NET MVC release CTP 2 which came out last Wednesday or Thursday or something… I am currently working on updating the series to use CTP 2 instead of the first one… please be patient 
Update: Sorry, but I cancelled this series again. There so many tutorials on how to get going with ASP.NET MVC out there, so I will not finish this series. You should definitely check out Kazi Manzur Rashid’s blog – e.g. his two posts on best practices are brilliant: part 1 & part 2, and he has written a lot of other interesting stuff as well.

This is the first post in a series of at least four about ASP.NET MVC, which I am planning. The series will show a way to build a nifty web site with a tidy, sound, and scalable architecture.

The series assumes that you want to use the model-view-controller pattern, so I will not try to convince you that it is a great way to structure a web site – even though it is, and currently in my opinion the only sane way to make websites when they contain more than one page…
ASP.NET MVC is a part of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions, which is currently only available as a preview. Thus, the details might turn out to be a little off, but still most of the stuff we go through here will apply.
As this is the first post in the series, we will start out by creating a the solution and the project structure – just to get going.
