Hello,

I have some experience with desktop development and i want to convert to the web religion. However i'm puzzled if i should start seriously with WebForms (which i have some knowledge in) or go straight into MVC. What would you guys recommend ?

P.S. These past few days i've been getting familiar with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript (+ jQuery), but i think i should start looking at some backend stuff meanwhile.

Regards.

Tough question to answer with zealots on both sides. Really, the best way to determine this is to look carefully at your requirements and decide which methodology would best fit the solution. If you are already familiar with WebForms than that would be the easiest way to go. Conversely you may see it as an opportunity to learn something new - again, thast would depened on the project you are undertaking - will it allow you the time to learn somethign new or are the time constraints such that you simply have to get on with it?

There is no right answer: they are just tools and you pick the best one for the job at hand.
