Data Enabled WebSite

[Murphy]

I am looking at developing a data enabled web site. I am quite proficient
with SQL server, VB & ASP. For these reasons I have decided to develop the
site in ASP.NET (learning presently) with an SQL Server backend.

I have been told this is not the way to go and the better alternative is PHP
& MySQL.

I would appreciate any feedback re the pros and cosn of each option and
whether there is truth to this or not.

Thanks

[Andrew J. Kelly]

If your quite proficient in that why would you want to change? Being
familiar with a tool(s) goes a long way and can help to reduce costs quite a
bit by being more accurate, confident and faster.

Exactly, my thoughts precisely however if the general opinion was that I was
going down the wrong path then i would be forced to learn new tricks in
order to complete the task correctly.

If there general opinion is that it's mrerly a matter of choice then I'll
stay with what I know.

Murphy,

Stick with your initial tools. You are building a solution that assumes IIS
and SQL Server, but these are very well accepted technology solutions.

Ignore the advice!

I work day in day out with PHP/MySQL and although they are open source,
reliable and easy to work with, I am now opting to go down the .NET route.

SQL Server is a more powerful database and .NET is a more powerful platform
to code on.

Not sure its a good idea to ignore the advice... I'm all .NET myself, but
MySQL and PHP certainly is a good "cost free" alternative. Now that's said;
go with .NET and SQL Server!

If it's for serious use, go .NET/ASP etc.

If it's for a hobby site (say a VA, if you're afollower of my hobby, FS!)
then MySQl, and PHP are good. Although I still use ASP and SQL.
