General Web Development Question
-
I have 30 years development experience. I do C# and WPF. I have some experience with MVC 4 Web API's. It's time for me to transition into web development. I want to learn ASP.Net MVC. I did get into MVC 4 a while back never went too far. The question... What is the .Net stack I need to learn? I don't really know what technologies I need. Thanks

Go look up ScottGu's blog http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu[^] he covers a lot of stuff you should find both interesting and educational. Go grab hold of some free PDF books from Microsoft ...

I would suggest to start with a basic .net book. Then dive deeper into code according to your need.

If you haven't already, you may want to read up on the whys and whens of ASP.NET webforms vs MVC. A couple of atarters http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd381412%28VS.98%29.aspx[^] and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7674102/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-asp-net-webforms-vs-asp-net-mvc-some-points[^]

A basic .Net book?? Why? I have 30 years development experience, including 12 years doing C# & WPF. .Net isn't an issue for me

Oh!! my mistake. I didn't notice that. Get an Asp.Net MVC book and read abt its architecture and patterns. At your experience, i think, you can finish it as a story in few hours. :) I think, this should be sufficient for you to start with. Moreover, asp.net/mvc website is also a good place to start.

I am pleased to see that you have 30 years of experience and you want to learn MVC. I was starting MVC before 8 months ago and it was wonderful experience to learn . My learning path was 1) I started with some small samples on http://www.asp.net/mvc[^] on almost all topics. 2) JavaScript 3) JQUERY 4) AJAX ($.Ajax)widly used (http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/[^]) 5) JSON 6) Entity Framework
Thanks

One thing that has not been mentioned much here is that when you are working with WebAPI(2), you also need to keep in mind the consumption of your services. When considering the modern SPA or service-to-service approach, I find it helps to tack it to an n-tier model for the purposes of figuring out what my needs at any given point in the stack are. The WebAPI can serve 2 purposes, data layer only or data mixed with business. The consumer can be considered in the same way, if it's an SPA then the consumer is either UI only or UI-business. If you're trying to develop a framework, I'd flesh out the approach that I wanted to take and find(or write) a JS framework that best serves my approach. I like using WebAPI2 as a Data source, so I've been working with Angular to handle business and presentation logic. I have other apps that I base out of MVC instead, and just use jQuery/vanilla JavaScript with those. I do think that the JavaScript environment is one that needs to be considered carefully when moving into the modern web app landscape.

It sounds like you already have a good base to work if you have previous experience using C#, MVC, WebAPI and WPF. If you want to get further into web development then look into ASP.NET with / without MVC. Start with the basics and then progress into more complex data-driven / ecommerce systems.
