Exactly whats MVC? Is it some sort of IDE for ASP.NET?

Yeah it's essentially a streamlined way to make a web app using ASP.net and (usually) Visual Studio. It separates the back end into Models, Views, and Controllers that all play their part in the development of a web app. It mainly uses HTML, CSS, Javascript, and C# and you can load JavaScript libraries and stuff with C# like ORMs. There's a lot of good info on the website: http://www.asp.net/mvc

I was going through Pro ASP.NET MVC 4 before coming onto hubski. IMO, while it's awesome you'll end up using a lot more templating and C# than anything else.

That's possible, though it really depends on what you want to do. I like C#, so I don't mind that side of it, but it's also a great resource for learning the visual languages as well. I guess it just depends on your programming tastes.

True. I also picked it up because I wanted to get more into C# and .NET while also learning about developing for the web, so that's what I got out of it.
