I want to learn ASP.NET web-application development by example. I want to learn it from an already developed web-application that is good as a tutorial for newbies. A fully functional web application that is small but powerful enough to teach newbies the development effort required for web-application development. I am looking for some application that is made using software engineering principles and not just a code written haphazardly.

There are 2 different flavors of ASP.NET.

WebForms

and MVC See here ASP.NET Webforms or ASP.NET MVC ? for the difference.

For MVC Go here http://www.asp.net/mvc and look at all the tutorials in particular the Music Store App demo

To learn WebForms go here http://www.asp.net/web-forms

I highly recommend you don't learn WebForms as less you need to. MVC is simply better to work with coming from a new and fresh perspective. – Raynos Jun 25 '11 at 12:17
@Rayons @Daveo Why is there an emphasis not to learn WebForms! – A-Cube Jun 25 '11 at 14:13
Music Store App Demo looks nice to start with! :) – A-Cube Jun 25 '11 at 14:15

@A-Cube see here stackoverflow.com/questions/726755/… and here stackoverflow.com/questions/661181/asp-net-mvc-vs-webforms basically webforms is the older way to do things and is still ok to use for some Interal websites and you may have to update an existing systems that uses webforms. However for external websites and most new sites they will be written in MVC .NET as it works more inline with how the Internet was intended to work (stateless). – Daveo Jun 27 '11 at 23:32

Nerd Dinner is for people already familar with web programming not beginners as it says on the Music Store Tutorial website "This tutorial is mostly written for beginners to ASP.NET MVC, including folks who are kind of new to web development. We already have a few tutorials out there at the intermediate to advanced developer level (Nerd Dinner, MVC Storefront) if you’re looking for something more advanced, but if you want to start with the basics of how ASP.NET MVC works before diving into repositories and IoC and TDD, this is a great place to get started." – Daveo Jun 25 '11 at 11:14
Ah fair enough. – chris Jun 25 '11 at 11:44
