| Jun 20, 2012 at 15:41 | comment | added | Rafael Herscovici | im sorry, but developing a webforms app to enter data and view data is so simple, that it can be done in a few hours. creating the structure of an MVC app, Controllers, Views and Actions, would take the same amount of time, but will not get you to a finished product. | |

| Jun 17, 2012 at 17:12 | comment | added | Jim G. | So let's get down to brass tacks. You can develop an entire (shippable) app between your morning coffee and lunch time? No way, dude. Perhaps one day, but not a half day. | |
| Jun 17, 2012 at 16:46 | comment | added | mootinator | @JimG - Uhh, anything which involves a person entering records without interesting associations into a database, and having that person or someone else read/print them at some other point can be basically scaffolded using an MVC framework. Granted, that isn't most apps, but it's a heck of a lot more than you can do with Forms. I guess your -1 proves my point. | |
