Hi Guys,
I have a question to you. Do you think that as SharePoint developer I should learn MVC? I know that for example SharePoint apps can be created with MVC, but also I can use ASP.NET. SharePoint stack has been build with ASP.NET. Do you think that Microsoft make a move to MVC? Or It’s a waste of time and I should stay with ASP.NET?
Thanks
Tomasz
Well! As per my view, as a SharePoint developer, you should focus on learning ASP.NET. You must be knowing that SharePoint stack is created with ASP.NET only. To some extend learning MVC is beneficial like, SharePoint apps can be created with MVC. There are a few things that only MVC can perform, but ASP.NET can perform every activity. To get more solutions on ASP.NET, check out the link: http://keenesystems.com/Expertise/ASPNetWebApplications.aspx
Excellent share for exploring MVC Tomasz; esp. using a movie FORM as a content source. Live content, plus the killer hook . . . interesting. We all love movies 😉
I wouldn’t since once you are used to MVC you will fall in depression if you have to create or maitain a solution in WebForms missing all thos MVC features 😉
Seriously: In the next version of ASP.NET there won’t be something else than MVC at all, so SharePoint will have to move to MVC if they don’t want to deal with legacy stuff forever. Since moving to MVC means to rewrite SharePoint from scratch (allmost), they will probably create a new product with the similar functionallity, but with another name.
