title: Is MVC the best way to code asp.net applications?
body: <p>update:  I know there is no one best way to do everything.  Sorry for not saying that right off.  In the context of the data-access tutorials, if you had to do the project he did in that tutorial, would you do what he did or would use use MVC, if you had to choose one of them?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> Is MVC the more appropriate way to program asp.net applications, instead of the tutorials found here:</p>

  <p><strong>Original:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I ask, because I initially learned about MVC with Java applications, then things like RoR, and Django.  These other projects and companies spoke as if MVC had been around for a very long time, and from what I found out it had.  Then Microsoft started putting MVC into the .net framework.</p>
  
  <p>I ask because I don't know how to design things very well and thought I was doing well to emulate what's on the asp.net site with Scott Mitchell's tutorial.  I thought that creating abstract layers in a BLL was the way to go until I found out about MVC and now asp.net's MVC.</p>
  
  <p>I honestly don't know what the "right" way is to do things.  I just create what I need, but I can't help feel like I am missing something.</p>
  
  <p>Is MVC the correct way to start doing things in large projects, specifically I mean MVC and ASP.NET, but could just as well mean PHP and one of their MVC frameworks.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to settle on a standard way of doing things...for now anyway.</p>
  
  <p>And, out of curiosity, why did Microsoft only now start doing MVC?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Is MVC better than the current tutorial set on asp.net?</p>
  
  <p>I'm referring to the Scott Mitchell tutorials where he creates the BLL for abstraction.  Or is that a linq question as well.  I should have said that I understand the need for keeping logic and presentation separate but unsure the best way to do it.  I was using the asp.net tutorials.  It worked fine.  Then I found out the rest of the world, as I saw it anyway, was using MVC.  Then Microsoft started developing MVC, so to me the other method seems obsolete and the wrong way to do things.</p>
