OOook, those who know me, or have read my blog probably have a pretty good idea that I’m a silverlight, wpf, wcf, c#, xamly kinda guy. I’ve never really done anything webby, the closest I’ve gotten is doing a bit of backend stuff, well, times change, and quite frankly I wanted to do something new… soooo
I’ve opted to go down the MVC route, for two main reasons – 1, I figured I may as well learn a good framework, 2, Matt Abbott told me that MVC lets you get dirty with HTML, and that’s one of the things I want to learn! It’s important to note..
I have no experience in HTML / CSS / JavaScript, so this is a windows developer going into the world of web.
I’ve actually been looking at this for a bit now, and I don’t really want to go too far back over what I’ve done, but, to get up to speed I have watched the PluralSight MVC course on www.asp.net/mvc and gone through the Music Store example project on CodePlex.
As it stands, architecturally, I think I’m in an ok stead, the coding looks to be ok, but I fear I will become massively unstuck with the CSS / JavaScript / JQuery side of things, but we’ll see how it goes…
I’ll try and post what I do to learn MVC and hopefully some other people in my situation can tag along
