After doing some reading on ASP.NET MVC I'm ready to start trying it out for myself.
When I'm learning new stuff I want to have a real project to work on. During the past 10 years I have been working on a framework/platform/call it what you want with functionality for Content Management, File management, invoicing, distribution, shopping and so on.
It's fun and I even have some customers using it.
So when I wanted to learn ASP.NET MVC I started to think about what module in the framework I wanted to start with.

Me and my friends have a whisky society. We meet once in awhile for whisky tastings and have talked about setting up a small website for this. Of course i could use a Starter kit or other open-source applications but this is a perfect project to learn MVC.

The free chapter by Scott Guthrie from Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0 is a great guide to follow. You can download the PDF here, http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/03/10/free-asp-net-mvc-ebook-tutorial.aspx

A long long time ago in a small town far away, I wrote a programming blog that started out fine but faded away. That's not unusual but I really want to try it again since it's the best way to learn.

So why I new blog?
I don't know, maybe a new beginning can be an extra boost.

Why "The Swedish Coder"?
You remember "The Swedish Chef" from The Muppets? Maybe this is kind of like that. I'm Swedish, I code instead of cook, I play around and nobody knows what I'm doing or saying.

When I learn new stuff I want to have real projects to work on so in most of my posts I will build small applications or modules, ususally part of my own framework.
Hopefully you will have some use for it.
