Here's a nice set of articles to help get you familar with Entity Framework Code First.

Just a few nice to knows for you also:

The latest version of Entity Framework 4.1 comes with Code First (use to be separate).

With the latest MVC3 tools update, the latest version of Entity Framework is included as part of the MVC3 template. Makes it a tad faster for getting going.

You can install the latest Entity Framework 4.1 with NuGet using install-package EntityFramework.

No Version 4.1 supports "Code First Development". Means you can define your Db by annotating your entities or using a Fluent API.
