OK, I've tutorialed myself to death (MVC4 latest) AND mocked up most of a site using the new VS11 Powerpoint Storyboarding . . . but now what??? Presumably
Devise "models" from .ppt mocks for use setting out Model classes with properties (into Models folder of an MVC VS solution).
Create controller(s) for above using templated scaffolding for views and controller CRUD (with EF auto generating required dbase, tables, fields via DbContext & <connectionString>).
Implement null check in controller, validation and DataType annotations in models, play with views .css and . . .
. . . . now correct me if I am missing something, but I now have a non-normalized database (based primarily on "ModelView" specs) and "obscured" EF/Linq code all of which is an impairment to on-going development/scalability. Oh and don't forget a non-wysiwyg
non-intuitive (vs Webforms) front end that I need learn jQuery to do pretty much anything with????
I'm not trying to be cynical but literally where does one go from here -- and/or isn't there a better "pattern" (heck, I'm thinking web form instead of powerpoint to a database that can be kludged on the fly then normalized to form the basis for an MVC site
if necessary).
ThanksInAdva...

Thanks in advance for all feedback/perspectives.
