Just curious, why would some company prefer ASP.NET to build their client's website rather than using PHP ? Is it because of the support that Microsoft has to offer ? Or what ?
Thanks,
Chris

Well, nice to hear responses so far. The company where I work, has decided to cooperate with Microsoft. Therefore, they have decided, from now on.....all the web that they produce for their clients, must use ASP.NET.
And It doesn't make any sense to me.....what could benefit for the company.....Do you have any experiences like this at the company where you work ? Do you know what are actually the benefits for a web development company working together with Microsoft ?

Do clients ask which programming language do you use to build their web apps ? I don't think there aren't many clients care if you build it using ASP, PHP, or JSP !......clients usually talk about what they want to achieve and how to get benefits from the web apps to achieve their goals.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:If the clients are amenable to running ASP.NET solutions - kinda their call at the end of the day...
There must be something behind this, and I don't know what it is....

Yes, it would hurt them, but they have decided and they would do it !nickvd wrote:If they ONLY work with microsoft, it would hurt them, I know I would have no use of them... microsoft... ick...
Your statement is logically the same as all of us here might think in programmer's perspective. Like, in order to become a web developer, you must be able to work with ASP, PHP, JSP.....and like the company asked me while interview, what programming languages can you program with !!!....and now, they suddenly decided to use only one ! What's that interview all about anyway ! I mean, common, we as the programmer know, that if we can PHP, but can't either ASP or JSP, means we would have fewer JOB chance...
Sorry about the yabbering and all...I don't know, maybe this is the good time to leave this company behind and start to look for another employer .... but before I do that, I would surely like to find out, why all of this happen suddenly...why all these changes...
