What has gone before - I had some problems installing my blog software so decided to write my own. Now what do I do?
Well my original idea was to implement this using ASP.Net Web Forms, couple that with a little Ajax action, some LINQ, man this will be so sweet I thought.
I started playing around with it, and in my travels of reading up on LINQ I came across some MVC stuff. Hmm interesting, what is the new ASP.Net thing they're talking about. Looks interesting. I kind of like the way the files are laid out and how the pattern implementation ties them all together.
Wait a second.. Where are my Web Forms? I'm used to Web Forms, this UI code looks like plain old HTML. Bah who wants to do plain old HTML I thought. The heck with that, I'm sticking with my web forms site that I started, couple it with a little Ajax action, some LINQ, its going to be soo sweet.
Wait a second, what's that? MVC is the way of the future? You mean its not just some fly by night thing that Microsoft is going to push out and forget about? I thought it was some sort of side project that some ASP.Net guys got together and whipped up as a sort of pet project. Well I should probably learn it them. Heck I can build the site in MVC and if I don't like it I can always do it again in Web forms. The database and business objects will be the same, just a different UI skin. No big deal.
You know what. Now that the sites done, I don't want to do the Web Forms. I actually like doing the MVC development more than I liked doing the Web Forms development that I've done in the past.
