OK it’s time. I have been spending quite some time learning ASP.NET MVC. I’ve read the Professional ASP.NET MVC 1.0 book and watched numerous videos on the topic but until you sit down and create a real website with the technology, it just won’t click. To this end, I have decided to redo my website using MVC. Frankly it needed an overhaul anyway. I used a template to construct my home and resume pages and they used tables for layout. They work perfectly fine but are outdated and need to be replaced with the preferred CSS DIV tag layout.
So here we go my first crack at creating an MVC application. I’ll be refactoring the home page first and will follow with the resume, agenda, toolbox and jQuery sites. I’m not to sure about my blog as it uses BlogEngine.net. My silverlight gallery can certainly be ported to MVC but that will take a bit longer.
So far I have almost completed MVCifying my home page. Check it out here. Hover over the menu items, my photo and my name, all done with jQuery and CSS.
Once completed I will make available the source code for download.
