MVVM: Tutorial from start to finish?

Question

I'm a C#/Windows Forms programmer with more than 5 years experience. I've been investigating WPF using the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) design pattern. I have searched the Internet for tutorials. I have even watched the entirety of Jason Dolinger's awesome video. Although I have found many, I have not found one that takes me from start to finish. What I really want is a tutorial that doesn't assume any previous WPF knowledge.

What are your favorite WPF-MVVM tutorials that helped you to learn?

There's a very good Techdays 2010 video introduction to the MVVM pattern, clearly explained:

This isn't a tutorial, but it's the diagram on this page that helped me get my head around mvvm.

Some blogs/websites to check out:

Answer 6

A while ago I was in a similar situation (allthough I had a little WPF knowledge already), so I started a community wiki. There are a lot of great ressources there:
