Hello! I am an experienced .NET developer with approximately 5 years of experience. Unfortunately, I have worked primarily on the back-end and as an desktop/smartclient developer. I have worked as a consultant for a total of 1 1/2 years on web development using both the MVP pattern and some Silverlight. I am wanting to develop a personal site, (My wife is due with our first in 7 months!) and figured while I was at it I would target particular technologies that I want to learn. Being that my current employer uses Monorail with NVolocity and is plannning a migration to ASP.NET MVC with (most-likely) NVelocity, I figured that would be a good tech stack to use. In addition, I would like to add JQuery to the set-up.
I have done several ASP.NET MVC tutorials. Including one on this site (Great job!). However, adding NVelocity and JQuery to the mix muddies the water a bit for me. So, my question is, does anybody have advice of where to start? Do you know of any good books, online tutorials, etc.? Do you think this is a good stack to use? Better view engine? Thanks in advance
