Alright, you've just officially convinced me to hit up some MVC tutorials today and start giving it a try. My first experience was somewhat slapdash, as I fit it in between my main Webforms development and a new Silverlight project, but now the semester is ending (cheers for no more full time school and work!) I think MVC may be the next mountain I climb.

And I also fully support everyone learning Javascript with the help of jQuery, it really does bring the "wow" effect back to working on websites.
