Now I've reached the level I want to develop a registration form from scratch using text fields, dropdowns, textarea, date fields and uploading images into Umbraco 7.4 and use the advantages of Umbraco CMS, such as Members (and maybe document types with associated properties?)
All registrations will then be filtered and listed from the same Umbraco website, but also the possibility to send and list out these records to other external sites via an iframe (but want tips if better methods exist - if there is some better practice for implementing these data received on a external site, sent from a Umbraco CMS 7.4).
What is central for integrate this registration project into Umbraco CMS 7.4, is it Models Builder, SurfaceController, or something else?
Thanks for the link. I think that if some want to expand their knowledge in Umbraco with their own Web services, things like SurFaceControllers and memberservice is probably one of the most central area anyone have to know to becoming an umbraco expert some day.

Registration form in Umbraco 7.4 - best practice?

Hey Tom,
What you need to be looking at is SurFaceControllers
Here are some links to get you started http://creativewebspecialist.co.uk/2013/07/22/umbraco-mvc-what-on-earth-is-a-surface-controller/ http://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/developer/fundamentals/surface-controllers/introduction/
It's also recommended to have some basic knowledge of MVC and how to do forms with MVC since it will build upon that.
Thanks for a quick and clear answer, and the links, so I know where I can start, with SurFaceControllers. :-)

No problem, glad I could help and good luck with setting it up!
Once you start looking at integrating it with the members area you'll need to look at the member service https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/management/services/memberservice

Also check out this article by Mike about using the Membership services to register members etc.

Is WebAPI best practice for sending data from Umbraco / SQL to other websites and mobile devices (it seams so)? https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/WebApi/
