Happy learning Frank!! here is one for you.
Option 1:
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc3/getting-started-with-mvc3-part1-cs
they have C# and VB examples. If you encounter any entity framework related errors, then install "SSCERuntime_x86-ENU" for windows 7 then try again. Worked for me. Should work for you as well. You can get it in microsoft downloads.
So, the above one talks about the movies database.
Option 2:
Step 1:
Go with option 1, Instead of keeping the web.config as they say, you can modify it with your local Movies database you create.
Step 2:
Right click project add an Entity data model referencing the database you created and add Movies table
Build the solution
Step 3:
Right click controller --> Add new controller -> From entity framework --> Specify the classes you have created in "Models" folder. This will then create CRUD code for you.
There you go...
In option 1, you may not have seen the table, but in Option 2, You design your own table and play with it.
