I’m evaluating Umbraco for a project. I have installed it and am following a course about it on Pluralsight. Umbraco looks promising for what I want to do, but before I dive off the deep end I would like to know from more advanced users if what I want to do fits with Umbraco. As far as I can tell so far, it should do, but here is the project:
I currently have an MVC 5 + Web Api project that includes a page with some significant javascript and ajax where users spend some time entering information. Ajax updates occur along the way and then there is a full page form submit that interacts with the database and returns textual and graphical results. This is mostly done.
What I would like is to use Umbraco as a platform for its basic capabilities, but also add in the existing functionality. Interaction with the database will probably not be with PetaPoco, might be Ado.Net or (unlikely) EF.
Obviously extra effort is needed to adapt the existing code to the Umbraco framework - no problem - but before I get in too deep - does this project make sense for Umbraco?
