My choice would be PHP but I hear from many people that asp.net is
better and more stable.
So I ask you what your experience with asp.net and PHP is.
Both have their charms. For instance ..
PHP advantages over ASP.NET :
- Very lightweight and fast, runs on cheap, slow hardware.
- Runs on just about every platform you can imagine.
( Though ASP.NET runs on many platforms as well
if you use the open source Mono framework. )
- Very cheap and widely available hosting.
- A lot of freedom for developer, compose your own
web development framework by choosing the right components.
ASP.NET advantages over PHP :
- It's a web development framework, providing solutions to the
statelessness of the web, good solutions for componentization
of the user interface ( i.e. user controls ), separation of
logic and layout, etc.
- Good support of unicode ( nice for international apps )
- Languages supported by ASP.NET and the class library are
modern and completely OO and support exception handling,
which I personally find a big plus.
Of course there are more examples for both and I don't
want this to turn into a flamewar. I like both.
Choose based on your needs.
Best regards,
Eric
