This is commical, This debate has gone on literally for years! I’m an 18 year old developer who started coding when I was 16, almost three years ago. I prefer asp.net because it’s much simpler to script, and performance wise it’s better than PHP in my opinion.
But we all have our different opinion, you stick to yours, I’ll stick to mine, besides I think the real reason you all choose php is because hosting for Windows is much more expensive than Linux/Php combo. Majority of the fortune five hundred companies use asp.net? Why? Because we share the same opinion.

In the past ASP has proved to be an invaluable tool for E-sites. it makes them dynamic,interactive,and user friendly. Besides speeding up processing, it also helps to maintain data integrity and the much needed security fir business sites.

I love this! I was thinking about this just the other day while I was making a -very- simple fan-site for a game. This was actually a big turn-off to me as well. I also dislike that Django’s templating language is similar to ASP.NET.

I have to admit that i started my programming career learning to develop windows apps. Then web development and server side scripting caught my attention. My first language was PHP. it was fun to develop in PHP but it took TIME. Lots of TIME. Learning curve was huge.

So i stopped web development for a while and focused on windows application development. After a few worldwide competitions and a few trophies I was hired and the company needed web apps. I QUICKLY transformed my c# and html markup knoledge into a paycheck using ASP.NET

As you can see from my young career that i learned asp.net because of what i was comfortable with and what i had time for.

I must say that i can build an application much faster than i can with php but looking on amazon and facebook i envy what those programmers can do. Clean websites, SCALABLE and quite cost efficient

So my view on the two platforms is that asp.net can do what PHP does much FASTER (As in development time).
But php can do what ASP.NET does much cheaper, cleaner and efficient.

P.S if your ASP.NET app is sluggish disable debugging from your web.config!

also, check out MVC and tell me what you think. What do i think? Cleaner

I have used ASP.Net + SQL for almost all of my applications. Here is what I concluded:

1. PHP is faster than ASP.Net
2. Its much faster to write a huge application in ASP.Net and optimize it for performance and usability.

PS: Drag drop is of no use as any application written for 1000+ concurrent users have at least 9 other things more important and time consuming things

Nice post,
I am a PHP developer but now I prefer using .NET
.NET is way better as you don’t have to write code..
You just need to drag and drop..
Developing a real time web application in PHP becomes a Pain in the a**,
as the number of codes you got to write increases..

Alright, here’s the thing. I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I AM NOT GOING TO CLAIM TO BE A DEVELOPER. I am a graphic designer who dips into web design. I have been doing this for half a decade and the bulk of that time I worked with Microsoft Apps. NOOO MOOOORE. I find nothing redeeming in dot.net. I hear php is unforgiving…WHAT? You stick a wrong character in a dot.net app and watch that sucker blow up. With PHP – that part of your page just doesn’t work. Load times, well just server tweaks for PHP, but WTF is up with even a simple dot.net app. Everybody on both sides just screams. I don’t have a dog in the hunt. I LIKED old classic ASP. It responded quickly. Some really really HUGE websites, lets call em applications to make everybody happy are written in PHP. I think windows PC application developers because the WHOLE point of Dot.Net was to bring in stand alone app developers into the web world and that makes sense but really PHP has plodded along and displaced pretty much every non-microsoft platform there is. They are not the same, their goals are not they same. I have spent hours of my life debugging php issues. As for DOT.NET DAYS! As for browsers I WILL NEVER use IE unless I hit an old site that forces active X. I have a client (law firm) – A couple of the partners can’t seem to behave online and they don’t mind paying me to clean up the muck they got from gambling and porn on their PC’s. SOOO after three office overhauls I mandated Firefox a year ago. NO BUGS. The proof is in the pudding. I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and some MS zealots screaming my pocket protector is bigger than yours doesn’t work. The PROOF is in the pudding. PHP is rapid, low overhead functionality and OH YEAH it doesn’t add a bunch of bloated code so pages perform VERY VERY WELL on Google (a non-Microsoft shop) Do they develop small applications Mr. Dot.Net? Amazon….Facebook…Wikipedia…hell most wiki’s…eBay? None of these internet giants use Dot.Net for any of their primary systems, Yahoo didn’t either until Microsoft bought them. Good enough for Google is good enough for me. I don’t need a Decision engine – I can be my own decider… PHP works. Dot.net Sucks resources, it sucks time, it sucks money out of my pockets for development IDE’s and DATABASE software…really ….database shouldn’t come with a server OS? PHP works, its clean which is great for SEO, and Dot.Net doesn’t.

PHP vs .NET – Im tired of hearing the conversation. They are both strong languages that do the job very well and they are both very powerful at creating both websites and applications.

PHP is slower to code??? Dude maybe you just don’t know the language or the concept of OOP or the variety of shorthand tricks to make coding faster.

Bottom line – Google, Facebook and Amazon all use PHP extensively in their applications so if PHP is really inferior then ask yourself why the biggest names on the web use it as much as they do…

Look at a few popular websites:

1. youtube
2. facebook
3. amazon
4. wikipedia
5. twitter
6. flickr
7. msn

ALL of these use open source technologies–except one. So open source technology (e.g. PHP/Python/MySql/Linux/Apache) is not only very capable of running world-class web sites, it is the more popular choice. This is self-evident.

Why is it more popular? It’s NOT because PHP is better than ASP.NET, that’s for sure. Anyone who has been in this business for a while knows that price and politics always trump technology. Decision makers care little for the relative advantages of one programming language over another.

As for PHP vs. ASP.NET, it’s not a fair comparison. Neither PHP nor ASP.NET are used in a vacuum. They are used as part of a suite of technologies. PHP is invariably used with a LAMP server and ASP.NET is always used with Windows, IIS and a host of other MS technologies.

So the choice is not one language over another, but rather one suite of technologies over another. For a decision maker, this is about price and politics; for the developer it’s a career choice: it’s about where to invest your time and talent. It takes many years and a huge amount of effort to acquire expertise in a particular programming language. Human nature comes into play. Of course people defend their career decisions with a passion (as we’ve seen in this thread).

The choice is ultimately not one language over another, but rather one community over another. Sure, there are some advantages to ASP.NET and some advantages to PHP. But these are insignificant when compared the larger environment in which each of those technologies are used.

I’ve been a MS developer for several years and have pretty much picked my poison at this point. I make a decent living and my children are well provided for. But if I were approached by a venture capitalist with $100 million to develop the next killer app, the question of what technology to use would NOT be based on what developers think!
