MVC for me?

Question

I'm currently learning "traditional" ASP.NET, but then there is a lot of buzz around ASP.NET MVC. Should I get into MVC now, or get a good understanding of the trad webforms first?

Answer 1

Get into MVC. Now. And never look back.

Answer 2

If you haven't learnt ASP.NET Webforms yet, you have to ask yourself whether you really want to learn about web development.

ASP.NET MVC exposes you to the joy/pain/beauty/ugliness of HTML, Javascript and CSS. ASP.NET Webforms attempts to hide you from all of this as much as possible.

Personally, I'd rather know everything that's happening in my applications, even if that sometimes means more work which is what makes me prefer ASP.NET MVC.
