Many programmers (so called) are fans of PHP and say that it is better then ASP.NET is because PHP is very easy compared to ASP.NET. Also, 90% of those so called "programmers" build applications without MVC and even without using objects.

That said, both languages are good enough to build rich web applications using MVC as long as the programmer knows how to program. It's more about personal choice. I choose ASP.NET over PHP because I just love C# and ASP.NET MVC3

-C#, ASP.NET, PHP Programmer.

How are the price's comparable ? PHP Setup Operating System = Free (Linux/Unix) PHP Core = Free SQL = Free Hosting = lets say £10 ASP.net Setup Operating System = ££ (Windows) ASP.net = Free (he says...) SQL = Free (msSQL = ££) Hosting = lets say £10

php owns asp.net

Once you get the basic concepts of asp such as mater pages, css (cascading style sheets), sql server, and login controls, it's extreamly easy to create a website. I just started learning asp in visual studio 2008 a couple days ago and I can areadly make a fully fuctional website in 2 hours. Which would have taken me forever using html and php

I wonder what the actual costs are if you want to actually benefit from the features ASP offers, instead of the marginal student-like setup that *-express products offer.

- Visual Studio 2008

- Team Foundation Server

- Windows Server 2008

- MS SQL Server 2008

- IIS 7

Are we getting past $/€ 10000 yet?

By the way: PHP may be free of cost, but a support contract will _not_ be. That is not what the 'free' is about anyway. It's free as in FREEDOM. (google: GNU four freedoms)

yea no kidding.

I love LAMP and I plan to continue using it.

Being a web developer (I dont write code for anything other than web pages) I don't see any reason someone like me will need visual studio, or to spend all that money and have microsoft server headaches.

true php is free, and for selling a product it's good, but in the long run it's more worth and cheaper that php solutions. When you have a licesce then you also have their support, btw. maintenance is also easier, so study's actually show that in long-term it's more worth. Besides, a developer should be open to all tehnologies, they exist for us, not vice versa.

Interesting way for Microsoft to advertise, but still didn't mention the actual cost, PHP is FREE by the way.

Please Please more of those tutorials

Nice introduction overall, but you need to work on your presentation just a little. The lip-smacking was driving me crazy (and not in a good way!) by the end.

Extremely poor.

[picchhi]

really nice. thanks for posting

[CLTheMonk]

Thank you very much.

I can read PHP but can never get it round my head to actually code it.

So I have chosen to get into ASP from scratch and this is a very good video. Thanks again.
