    Umbraco MVC and External Databases

    I am new to Umbraco and MVC.  I previosuly developed lots of web forms applications using another CMS.  We are now converting over to Umbraco 7 and would like to try to use MVC rather than web forms since Umbraco seems to be pushing it more.  So where I am stuck at is how to setup MVC to connect to other databases.  Basically what is the best approach and where do I begin?  Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to stick woth web forms because I underatnd them but if MVC is the preferred and better approach I want to try it
