Architectural decisions: ASP.NET MVC & Entity Framework

Question

I\'m having an architectural decision-problem: We\'re about to build a new application and we\'ve decided we\'ll be using ASP.NET MVC and Entity Framewo

Answer 1

Remember that best architecture is directly correlated with budget and timeline.

MVC will cost more than regular asp.net:

• MVC forces the developer to use 3 tiers at all times
• MVC developers are more expensive and harder to get

I assume you mean regular asp.net when you say DAL project. If this is the case then:

• ASP.NET development is faster than MVC
• ASP.NET web sites will allow you to use more complex third party grids, etc.
• Widely available talent in the USA

In Regards to mobile development it does not matter what you choose for the web site. Your mobile apps should be developed using in the native language of the device (IOS, Android, etc). Then you communicate with the app via SSL and JSON.
