Hi guys?


I am going to develop portal similar to myspace, netvibes , spell checking and some kind like inline text advertisement like contera.
My long term is to build largest community in my place.

Its seem like facebook and wikipedia are using mysql and php and they work just fine.

For inline text advertisement like contera, i suggest to use java since its fast for data mining and natural languange processing to process and large number of text.

but my partner ask me to use asp.net since it's more suitable for large large application. and php is just for small project.
What is the cost in long run if i am deployed it using php and mysql? compare to asp.net/mssql, or java/sever..


Please help me.

Consider looking at socialengine.net.

As for the ASP.NET argument and your boss, there are other companies to work for, and you can also go out on your own. You can also tell him to go surf over to elance.com and type in various programming languages under "Find Projects", and he'll see tremendous need for PHP versus most other languages. As well, you could list for him numerous megasites that are PHP based and which seem to handle loads just fine -- just Google on that and there are countless numbers of these.

Sounds like your partner doesn't know what he's talking about.
