Newbie Sharepoint website question

Question

I am used to building java web applications. I am used to MCV. As I learn how to build a Sharepoint site, is it ok to think of building Sharepoint sites similarly, particulary where there is business logic layer, that, for instance, would grab data from various DBs, do some logic, then go to a certain page?

Answer 1

There is a Open Source Project for SharePoint MVC but you need to understand the plataform first, with some SharePoint for Developers tutorials.

Answer 2

SharePoint and MVC do not play well together, not in a supported way at least. This isn't going to change for 2010 either. It's an ASP.Net Web Forms app, and so acts accordingly.
