Re: PHP vs Asp.net
No dependence on Microsoft or Windows servers. They are roughly on-par. Windows specific things are easier on ASP.Net of course.seanmanford wrote:1. advantages and disadvantages php has over asp.net
Outdated, and poorly coded tutorials, online examples and books... unfortunately. Prevalence of poor code in "production" libraries and such.seanmanford wrote:2. Main problems with php
If you understand C/C++.. the learning curve is super smooth. It's not complicated.seanmanford wrote:3. how complex is it to learn it?
The manual is a wealth of information few tap well.seanmanford wrote:4. any other useful information

What I mean is, why are you going to scrap a working application to rewrite it in a different language and potentially (depending on the expertise of the development staff) lose knowledge, testing, data and features from the existing code? There must be some seriously big reason that you're thinking about a switch to a completely different platform.
