  <p>I'm new in <code>asp.net</code> <code>mvc</code> and <code>.net</code>. In general my programming background in PHP.</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between <code>DropDownList</code> and <code>DropDownListFor</code>? Why the <code>For</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Where I can find a definition for every one of this helpers and an example to understand how to use it?</p>
