A little Background:
I started my career almost 5year ago as a web developer using ASP.net and C#, after working as a web developer for only a year i switched to the world of low level programming (i.e C/C++). Now, from last 4 years i have been working in c/c++
At present i have been assigned a task to develop a large scale web application (by large scale i mean large number of users probably in million and huge communication among those user like communication at twitter or facebook and obviously a huge backend database aswell). Since i worked in ASP and C#, so i will prefer to develop this application using ASP.net and C#
My Question:
Currently the project is in requirement gathering phase and in the meanwhile i am assigned a task to design its architecture. Now i google various architecture resources and came across following:
- MVP
- MVC
- Three Tire Architecture (One which i use 5 year back)
- Please mention some more, if there exist coz i only find those 3
Now i am totally confused with first two because some site mention that if i use MVC then i am not allowed to use WEb forms, and many more . . .
Secondly some sites also mention SOAP and REST but i feel that i am not able to use with ASP.net and C# (with the .Net Framwork 4.0)
What i Want
First, i appologise in advance coz i feel this all confusion arise because i have experience in C/C++ rather than web development. Secondly, i know that no one did the job done for me and even i don t want to do so, i only need good guidence i.e where to start with, what resources should i study etc.
