Question

I have been working as WinForm (C#) Developer since Aug 2010. Now, I am planning to migrate into Asp.net MVC (C#). I have been learning MVC with http://www.asp.net/mvc for last 10 days. But I found that it only emphasizes on razor technology over ASPX. I just want to clear doubt that Do you use Razor technology in your MVC Project over ASPX. Please also mention other stuff I should learn (or from where) to be an Asp.net MVC Developer (Good & Employed).

Thank you,
Aman

Welcome to StackOverflow (SO)

Razor is simply a template engine, meaning that you write a string and put placeholders in it to be filled by some data. Razor is really easy to use, thus:

hello @name

in Razor would be:

hello <%= name %>

in ASP default inline statements. Thus yeah, many developers recently prefer Razor.

If you want to become a good ASP.NET MVC developer, I suggest to follow these topics as starting point:

1. Filters
2. HTML Helpers
3. Razor Syntax
4. ViewBag, ViewData, and TempData
5. Routes

of course, these suggestions need you to know ASP.NET, and MVC, and many more stuff as prerequisites.
