I'm about to foray into ASP.NET Web Development and I already know some of the very basics using Visual Web Developer and some of the implementations of Web Forms. However, instead of continuing to go down the Web Forms path and mastering VIEWSTATE and all of the ugliness that comes along with it, I've decided to go the MVC route.
At this point, I'm wondering, should I continue to learn Web Forms and then move over to MVC? Or can MVC be learned independently without knowing a thing about Web Forms? What's my best course of action?
