With Silverlight on the way out, our company wants to embrace HTML5 and related technologies.
Background: Our Silverlight project did everything from generating its own models (or data contracts), sending it over WCF, tracking changes, with a whole deal of back-end code to make the ride smoother, but often also cluttered and more complex. Most of the original developers for this project are gone, and we want to embrace something new for future projects.
Having done this very useful MVC Jump Start course at Microsoft Virtual Academy, we are all fired up for the next project. The problem is that we have very little in-depth knowledge of all the many different components. The most important hereof is probably Entity Framework, and (for later) Web API. I suppose the best place to start is at the Microsoft ASP.NET websites.
Are there any other suggestions for learning from more experienced developers?
I am a senior developer, but my knowledge of ASP.NET MVC (and related) is very limited.
PS: We have a project deadline at the end of this month.
