Building a New Site

I working on building a new website in my spare time.  I've decided to use this opportunity to play with ASP.NET MVC.  I put together a long list of pros and cons for ASP.NET WebForms versus MVC; perhaps I'll post it.

 

Anyway, when I started laying the groundwork, I went with the RTM version of MVC (v.1), but I was too compelled by the upcoming of features of v2 that I decided it makes sense to throw caution to the wind and lay down the UI framework with it.

 

I haven't had a chance to really dig into the MVC framework; thus far it's been all backend code.  Every now and again, you've got to start an application from scratch to make sure your you're keeping your skillset fresh.  The hardest part of being a developer is creating something from scratch.  After the initial creation, it's just a matter of plugging in functionality and fixing bugs.

 

I will try to treat the blog like a journal for my adventures with MVC, and any website launches that may, or may not, be on the horizon.
