ASP.NET MVC development

The last couple weeks I've been working on figuring out ASP.NET MVC on my companies website and on my new training oriented website at http://www.rongrove.com. Beyond MSDN documentation I've used the official Microsoft asp.net website, various blogs posts, and the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Website Programming book. I've seen a lot of hype about this for Ruby on Rails of course, and I've been exposed to it with Apple's development tools XCode and InterfaceBuilder. At least with InterfaceBuilder it seems much easier. The routes seem really awkward. I can't think of a parallel in the Apple tools I've used. The bindings perhaps? I don't know, but reading the book I mentioned they have a lot of them. Seems like a larger, more complex application is going to have tons of these things unless I'm understanding them incorrectly... I may take a closer look at Ruby on Rails. I'm curious how they do this, but my host is GoDaddy and I think they only support PHP and .NET applications. The one thing I like, and the primary reason I went with it in the first place, was that it's far more SEO friendly. Debugging the output by using "view source" in the browser is far easier than with ASP.NET WebForms because the code is so much cleaner. Well, back to work. I really want to get content on the training site as soon as possible.
