WEB FORMS vs MVC?

WEB FORMS (PROS)

Rapid Application Development (RAD)• Drag and drop controls

• Mechanisms behind controls and pages are hidden

Maturity• Smaller learning curve for developers

• More robust legacy framework

WEB FORMS (CONS)

Less control over html produced due to RAD

MVC (PROS)

“Separation of Concerns”, encapsulation, & modularity

Multiple forms on one page*

Similar to other non-Microsoft frameworks

Test Driven Development is facilitated

MVC (CONS)

Developer needs to be fairly competent in HTML and CSS

The Views are HTML structures that are written from scratch by the developer

MVC is relatively new Higher cost Bigger learning curve
