.NET V. PHP: Top 6 Reasons to Use .NET
ASP.NET Vs PHP

Hi!
Once, I had a similar question like yours and while I was seraching for answers in that time, I came across to this article:

Web Languages: Php Vs. Asp.net By: Kevin Jordan


ASP.NET
If you program in ASP.NET you'll typically get too responses from the other side. Either you're rich (or your company is) or you're a Microsoft lover. While the name comes from Microsoft's old ASP technology, they made a huge leap with the .NET Framework, and the CLR allows you to use other languages for back end processing: typically Visual Basic.NET or C#.

ASP.NET's strength lies in object oriented features, and it's flexibility. Because of the CLR you can have C# programmers and VB.NET programmers working on the same project, or switch languages half way through and not have to rewrite all of your old classes. The .NET class library is organized into inheritable classes based around particular tasks, such as working with XML or image manipulation, so a lot of the more common tasks have been already handled for you.

Visual Studio .NET is a massive development IDE that (as long as your computer is fast enough) will shave tons of time of your coding. It has built in debugging along with IntelliSense, which allows for auto-completion of methods and variables so you don't have to memorize everything.

On the down side, ASP.NET is expensive. One it uses tons more resources on the web server so you'll require either better server or more servers in the farm. Windows 2003 and Visual Studio .NET are pretty tough on the pocket book as well. It's extremely rare for an ASP.NET app not to be running on IIS. And if you pay attention to any of the bug reports, you'll notice that Windows and IIS have had a bit of a history with vulnerabilities being exploited.

PHP
PHP works in combination of HTML to display dynamic elements on the page. PHP only parses code within its delimiters, such as . Anything outside its delimiters is sent directly to the output and not parsed by PHP.

PHP strength lies mostly in LAMP. The LAMP architecture has become popular in the Web industry as a way of deploying inexpensive, reliable, scalable, secure web applications. PHP is commonly used as the P in this bundle alongside Linux, Apache and MySQL. PHP can be used with a large number of relational database management systems, runs on all of the most popular web servers and is available for many different operating systems. This flexibility means that PHP has a wide installation base across the Internet; over 18 million Internet domains are currently hosted on servers with PHP installed.

With PHP 5 finally came exception handling and true OOP, but it still lack namespacing to prevent class naming collisions. PHP's type checking is very loose, potentially causing problems. Another drawback is that variables in PHP are not really considered to have a type. Finally, for some reason big corporations feel that if they're not paying for something, then it's not worth buying. If that's you're company's mentality, they just need to wake up and check out all the awesome free software that's out there.

So Which Is Better?
We'll I have my opinions and you may have yours as well. But in general, PHP is cheap, secure, fast, and reliable, while ASP.NET has quicker development time and is easier due to its class library system can probably be maintained more easily. Both are great languages, and it's up to you to make the decision.

I have been always a real fan of Google since 2000. It is really great but now Microsoft is going fast. That's nice. Bing is really user friendly and I like it's home page due to the use of Microsoft Silverlight Technology and AJAX. If they keep on the good job within the next months there will be one of those "Google Vs. Microsoft" sharp competitions.

A site member built a poll asking if President Obama should be killed. That become an issue. Now investigation by national security agency has been started. I started thinking should this matter be taken so searious as there are millions of users, who make strange polls for just fun. I have seen dozen of poll, about Irani president's death. SImilarly other presidents. I am observing that now US is becoming more sensitive

Really? What has happened to the "Freedom Of Speech"? I guess US goveronment is overreacting. People make comment, polls ... . which they don't even think about. If they want to get sensetive to those stuff, then there would be a lot of work to do.

In my opinion, age differences, is a kind of subject which depends on your country and your culture. In some countries, it's Ok for a young girl to be around with an older guy or the exact opposite ( a younger boy with an older girl). So, sometimes it can be good but some times it may be bad and you may be rejected by the society surrounding you. But, personally speaking, If both girl and boy are over the legal age and they are both wise to understand the different aspects of their decision, it can be good.

Windows Seven would be the greatest OS for a while. I really support it . It is both efficient and eye-catching.

I really suggest everyone to leave vista and stick to the great windows 7. In my opinion windows seven is really a state of the art OS. Smooth work ground, beautiful UI and .... Somehow Microsoft has managed to combine XP efficiency with Vista beautiful UI so as to make a ground-breaking OS.

Hi!Has anyone around here used Microsoft Silverlight? I here that it's a great technology for deloying a multimedia content over the net. I would be thrilled if anyone could help me get familiar with it. Thanks in advance.

In this thread, let's introduce best java bases CMSs. There are plenty of them but some of them really rock. I am going to start with "dotCMS".

dotCMS is a Java Open Source Web Content Management System for building/managing websites, content and content driven web applications. While dotCMS includes the features you might expect in a complete CMS, including true separation of content and design, ease of editing, page caching, advanced templating, this software also includes many features you might not expect such as a Web2.0 calendar and events management, e-communications tools and more.
dotCMS is fully supported and has been deployed by thousands of companies, news organizations, Web 2.0 sites, universities, associations and foundations.

dotCMS also provides at cost a full suite of training and certification courses for all dotCMS developers, architects and general users.

Hi guys!

As you know there are thousands of portal framework and CMS out there. one which is among the top hits is called Rainbow Portal. In this thread, let's discuss this portal and its features. Those who have worked with this portal, can share their experience with others buy giving their attitudes about this portal.

For start, let's get known to this framework by reading its own description from its own site.

 

The Rainbow project is an open source initiative to build a comprehensive content management system using Microsoft's ASP.NET and C# technologies. Rainbow, available today in 29 languages, allows content authoring to be safely delegated to role-based team members who need little or no knowlege of HTML. Rainbow optionally supports a two-step approval-publish process. 75 plug-in modules are now included in the standard release, including support for an e-store, XML news feeds, Flash, Maps, Newsletter, Surveys, Forums, Document Management, Custom Lists, and more. It's also fairly easy to build your own custom modules using the guidelines provided on the Developer Documentation page.

 

Rainbow has received more than 156,000 downloads to date and more downloads of the new ASP.NET 2 version are occuring from the new SVN. Rainbow is already in production at many commercial internet and intranet sites.

I suggest you to also use mediafire. It is really fast and strong. You can download what you want easy and quick. I really recommend it to all the folks around.

My first choice would be "ESET NOD32 Anitvirus 4". I guess it is the best: real time updated database, really low level use of system resources, ease of use,safe removal of infected files and .... For me the low level use of system resources really matters because I am a programmer and I have a hell of programing-related softwares running on my system and I don't want my antivirus make my system slow because of checking those programs.

Hi guys!Looking through your posts, I discovered that one of the greatest Joomla template providor is not listed above:https://www.joomlart.com/
In my opinion, their templates are the best with their out of the box modules. Give it a try!

Hi guys!In my opinion your design should be SMART:S = SizedM = ModifiableA = ArtisticR = RightT = Technologized

Hi "The Simpleton"Dotnetnuke is not new. It was built over on Microsoft "IBusSpy" in December 2002. IBuySpy was something like recent Microsoft starter-kits for learning the fundamentals of data-driven websites with the power of ASP.Net. Actually at first DotNetNuke was a modified version of IBuySpy which was called "IBuySpy Workshop.Then it was renamed to "IBuySpy WorkShop Christmas Eve" and finally got under the hood with its current name, DotNetNuke (DNN).By the way, I my self am a professional web programmer with years of experience. These days I use Dotnetnuke as my framework and then instead of programming the basics, I use my time for developing quality modules and themes.If anyone needs more information on this framework, I am here.

If you want to go with windows hosts, you definitely should use the great Dotnetnuke portal framework.If you want to go with Linux hosts, then I suggest you to use Joomla as your cms due to its great community and also freaking amount of free modules, components, templates and plug-ins.

It is by far better but please note that PHP-Nuke is written in php whereas DotNetNuke is bases on Microsoft great ".Net" technology.Dotnetnuke is really a great portal frame work. It's built on the strong basis of ".Net" framework which makes it really safe. So far, it has done great. Easy template designing, easy module developing, user friendly back-end area and ....Also, there is a site called "Snowcovered" which is a marketplace for developers and designers who want to sell their modules and skins. If you know ".Net", "CSS", "HTML" you can start earning money by producing your own stuff, just like me.

I had a site hosted on 000webhot. It is good for a small to medium website but there are some issues with them.1. No cpanel... they give their own control panel (Not too bad)2. After using 7-8 GIG of your BW, your site gets really slow.3. A lot of SQL down time

It was really good host a long time ago, but these days it is not doing good. Slow server, old control panel ....

Hi!I am new to Xisto and I think it seems really great. I am trying to post useful contents so as to get hosted here as soon as possible.Wish me luck!

X10 offers good features but they suck in up-time. Their servers have a hell of downtime (2-3 times day).

Hi guys!Within last two years, I had 8 different sites hosted over byethost. For me, service was good and i really liked their support for answering support tickets. Generally speaking, they were really good until the beginning of 2009 but these days they are not good for a medium to advance websites. My main issue is their slow loading of websites which sometimes lead into some script error in your site. I don't recommend it to any one any more.
