Traditional ASP .NET Web Forms vs MVC

Question

As someone with some winforms and client applications experience - is it worth going back and learning the way traditional ASP .NET pages work, or is it okay with moving str

Answer 1

If you don't know how or haven't has experience with raw level web request / response and raw html/css rendering then MVC will would be good place to start. You will then better understand the pros and cons of both webforms and mvc. They will both be around in the future as the both address different needs.

Though I will say webforms is a highly misused and abused platform. So much of the "look no code" rubbish gives all who use it a bad name. Put in the time to understand it and use it properly you'll find its a very extensible and robust platform.
