I would say that ASP.NET 2.0 along with web developer may lead to quicker development times than someone using say PHP and Zend. Granted, tha tis sort of like comparing cake and apples. To be fair when using web developer you'd probably have to be using some sort of framework along with PHP to even out the advantage but even then I think web developer would allow slightly quicker development time assuming equal levels of experience. I wouldn't use the word "powerful" though. In my opinion, I am more "powerful" than any language.

We'd need more context. We can't 'prove' that PHP 'can do anything', so we'd need to understand what ASP is doing in the example, to show whether PHP can.m2babaey wrote:I meant there are sites that can be built by asp but not by php
is that true?
But as a general statement, PHP can usually do what ASP can (just in dramatically different ways).

your are tied to microsoft
I cant imagine any language being easier than php. certainly not jsp. But you are asking about asp. ASP is a piece of junk, period. Your are tied to Microsoft product all the way. PHP you can do shell and web development all in one multiplatform language.
About your next question. No, there is nothing php cannot do.
My friend, PHP is cool and easy. Dont waste your time on anything else.
Where can I get an I love PHP t-shirt?
BTW, charles256 asp development faster than PHP? Give me a break. Well, maybe if the php developer is sleeping at the time. It may happen. I am not sure.

No it's not true. What is a site? Nothing more than (dynamically generated) html... Any webplatform would allow you to achieve that... I believe it's a lot harder to generate real-life websites that are standards compliant (x)html with asp.net than with phpm2babaey wrote:I meant there are sites that can be built by asp but not by php

(ignoring the silly demos that ms gave us to showcase that asp.net can actually generate compliant html if you don't use any of the controls provided with the framework....)

I'm going to reply to this as calmly as possible.. : bites off smart remark : Have you ever used ASP.NET 2.0 with Visual Web Developer? Ever? Ever even seen someone else use it? Unless you're argument is tied to something more than "microsoft sucks " go.... : resists another smart comment : . I left in my thoughts about the smart comments so you can fill in the data if you're creative. If not, oh well.yacahuma wrote:I cant imagine any language being easier than php. certainly not jsp.
