Web ADF .NET Discontinued?

Question

Hi,

I have been exploring using either the ESRI Javascript API or the Web ADF .NET as the programming environment for an upcoming project. As I understand the output for both environment is plain old html content. According to this:

ArcGIS Server Web ADF for Microsoft .NET

Web ADF has some good 'Controls' I could use. But according to this: how to get ArcGIS server ADF (ArcGIS 10.2) into Visual Studio 2012

Web ADF is being deprecated? So I should stay away from using the Web ADF .NET controls for my future projects?

Thanks.

Yeah, Web ADF is not the recommended way to develop new projects. For web development you should be focusing on the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. The ADF isn't even listed in the developers site, so that right there is a signal to stay far away from it.
