I am new to Umbraco and MVC. I previosuly developed lots of web forms applications using another CMS. We are now converting over to Umbraco 7 and would like to try to use MVC rather than web forms since Umbraco seems to be pushing it more. So where I am stuck at is how to setup MVC to connect to other databases. Basically what is the best approach and where do I begin? Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to stick woth web forms because I underatnd them but if MVC is the preferred and better approach I want to try it
