Help me decide please...
Feeling in the mood to learn a new coding language.

:cool: N7
 
My suggestion would be to go with .net, much faster to roll out new developments and much more powerfull.

If you are a lazy bum like me,... asp there is allot more free code available :)
 
just use PHP rather.

If you HAVE to use ASP, then consider
1) classic ASP can be written in notepad and is easy to update
2) ASP NET is a pain to update, but does have a decent IDE.
 
don't even look at asp... It is a dead language.

asp.net all the way. The IDE is now free as well.

Updating is a nightmare if you don't fully grasp the concept of it, but it is a million times better than asp.

Edit: .Net sites are not slow. The first load on the first visitor is slow then it is just as fast if not faster than asp
PHP is an ugly language

Not if written properly. In my experience, .net sites have been faster than ASP sites they have replaced.

It all depends how you code. Even PHP sites can be slow if not coded efficiently.

My advice? ASP.Net is a stepping stone to the entire .Net platform (You have to learn a language to write in ASP.Net - C# your best choice for sure). ASP/PHP is a stepping stone to...?

What do you want to program?
For Application .Net
For Web based stuff php/css/asp

Mmmmmmm
I firmly disagree with you there... .net kicks bum on any level, application or web based. I can't believe you pulled in php as a comparison to .net, I am amazed:eek:

ok, it's old, most ppl code extreamly bad in it, but it works... :D & lotsa free code avaliable for it. (me begining to like coding in notepad, sad i know :))

but learning .Net will make you more employable. It's easier, and probibly faster to develop something new.

That is true for SA, I fully agree with you there, but most of my buds abroad are PHP... Which is fine as php is fine. The same can be said of asp. At the end of the day to know them all is probably the best as they all have their own advantages. If you have never programmed before I suggest start with .net as it will switch on allot of lights for PHP and ASP.

Mmmmmmm, on 2nd thought why don't you just learn foxpro and design sites with foxpro... :D
 
Defintely ASP.Net over classic ASP. But make sure you check out PHP first. In most cases its a better choice than MS. (Except perhaps in large enterprises here, most of which run MS products).

:eek: I'm going to find you, and I'm going to pull your appendages off one by one until you retract that thought... :D

Seriously, I was an ASP developer before .Net came out. Now my ASP skills, while valuable in learning .Net quickly (and developing efficient sites), are hardly called upon. It's .Net all the way. Not just ASP.Net either.
 
What software can be used to program in PHP? I want something with simplicity like Frontpage. I currently purchased Macromedia Dreamweaver but everything looks so congested and complex that i'm regretting spending so much cash!

I've also looked at some PHP code, it looks like a nightmare!

I'm still torn between ASP or ASP.net

By the way, does anyone have an alternative server program besides IIS to run ASP?
