Time to get this new year started! Today I am starting a new series on http://www.howmvcworks.net on models, view models and related issues. I few weeks ago I asked for suggestions on tutorials and both @jasona and @samdelagarza suggested material around validation and model binding. This series will cover both topics and more. If anyone has suggestions or requests, please let me know.

I haven't tried upgrading an existing site yet, but new website creation works well.

Luckily, all you have to do is include the proper namespace reference to your controllers at the top.
