This is kind of a brain fart I guess, I'm just thinking of the different ways of developing in umbraco and what is maybe the better or more future proof way of doing so.
As I understand it there are 3 methods of developing forms and things in umbraco.
1. Web forms / contour.
2. Umbrao base / web API
3. MVC
We currently use web forms as that is how we've always developed .net websites. It's quick, easy and it works although it does add a load of extra code to pages which has always annoyed me and it seems to be a bit more difficult to make things user friendly (like ajaxing postbacks).
I'm starting to look at whether we shoud be changing this however. But wanted to ask the community, how do others develop, what are the advantages / disadvantages of the different methods.
