ASP.NET advice

    I'm just finishing up in college and will be doing my final project in ASP.NET. It's an application I'm doing for work that will consist mainly of a datagrid that will be used to display data from a variety of sources.

    My question is, should I do it using MVC or forms? I've only done one basic website using forms in college so I'm new to both. Which would be of more benefit to me in the future?

    Thanks!

    MVC always and forever and ever.

    Run, don't walk, away from Webforms.

    MVC.

    Or use Web Api and create a javascript front end.

    Webforms is like the Jar Jar Binks of web development. It's truly awful.

    Go for MVC and the skills you learn will be transferable to other languages. Also, any ASP.NET enterprise site worth its salt is done in MVC not webforms.

    Yeah Microsoft say that there's still a place for Webforms but I really don't see it. I'd never start a project using Forms, and would not work for a company still using it.

    Best of luck
