I’m quite a proficient ASP.Net Web Forms developer, but I would like to get some exposure to MVC to see what it’s like and if there are benefits to using it.
Is it worth using MVC for a hobby project, my main concerns are:
- It may hinder development times of the website
- I may not appreciate any rewards for using MVC (i.e. testability)
Are my concerns reasonable?
Thanks
A hobby project may in fact be a perfect introduction to MVC if you want to learn it. I thoroughly recommend having a play. If you haven’t used MVC before I wouldn’t attempt it for a large scale project, smaller projects like you may be undertaking are great stepping stones for learning the new framework.
Of course, you’ve got to weigh up hindrance against progress. The time taken may hinder this project, but in the long term, getting an introductory exposure now has got to out weigh that?
