PHP or ASP.net

PHP. Been using a bit of ASP.Net lately and it's nowhere near as nice to work with... it doesn't seem to have nearly as many pre-defined functions.

Hi,
Rather I would like .net framework. It has better approach and scope as far as web development is concerned.

I say stick with PHP, since it's so portable. ASP.NET is great, but you need a Windows server - so if you use your scripts on shared hosting, it's much easier to deal with.

i like php more for the fact that i DONT have to use microsoft visual studio and do a build and if one file is bad, have the whole build break. php is much easier to manage IMO.

I usually let my environment make the decision. If it's on a Windows platform, I'd more than likely go for ASP.NET. If it's on a Linux box, PHP it shall be then--provided that I aren't working with Java Servlets. :)

SharpDevelop is actually pretty awesome. It's totally open source. The actual compilers are free and come with .NET when you download/install it. Microsoft likes to hide that. Visual Studio just an IDE, not a compiler.

I've used it for C# console programming for a few months. I've never used the forms like in the screenshot.

But yeah, I like how I was able to quickly pick up both the PHP & C# languages. I'd stick with .NET for quick deployment of applications on workstations, and PHP for web development. I've never really seen any benefit of using .NET languages on the web when a great system is already there with PHP.

I agree that Visual Studio is good for RAD. Stick with PHP for web development, and something like C# for XBox and some Windows based applications.
