I'm fairly familiar with MVC and hoping someone could give me some guidance or a link on how I could create a form i.e. contact once I have created the model with two fields which are name and email.
Would I create a document type and then assign the control to the template?
Quick one for you. I've read about surface controller and I did use Umbraco 8 at first but had to drop to 7 since some of the tutorials don't work along regarding surface controller usage in 8. Has the complete structure changed for version 8? Thx
I see. Is it still worth learning Umbraco 7 if the codebase is significantly different? Or just jump to Umbraco 8? If there is enough to go from 7 to 8 then I'm happy to learn 7 and learn Umbraco 8 changes hoping there isn't a huge learning curve. Thx again
It depends on your plans. If you want to be Umbraco guru - it worth learning both versions and they are not so different. Ideas are similar and method names are quite similar.
If you want just to create a website with the latest Umbraco version - then just v8.

Thanks

Yes, v8 is a new CMS
The codebase is different
