Hi,
I have used both.
Recently, I bought the "Beginning" and "Pro" versions of the same book (ASP.NET 4.5 in C#) from the same publisher (APRESS).
The first promotes Web Site design and states that there are hardly any reasons why you want to use the old and outdated Web App method (apologies to the author if that was not exactly what was said/intended but I think I've got the gist of it there). The second promotes Web App design and states that Web Sites are "useless" and "dangerous" (again apologies to the author if that was not the full story but, again, the gist is there).
The MSDN site states that the future is Web App all the way and that new features will not always be made available for Web Site Projects. This is in complete opposition to the "Beginning" book which implies that Web Apps are the "old" way.

It's a big issue so, to focus on what I need, can anyone offer any guidance on the following question: "To be as future-proof as is possible these days, which is best to use?"
Thanks.
