Moosader.com Redevelopment - Part 1 - Why Moosader.com sucks

My priority project at the moment is to rebuild Moosader.com with the ASP.NET MVC framework with a redesigned, cleaner, front-end.

I'd like to get my website done before adding any new tutorials or updating with new games, so this is mainly what I will be working on.

I am going to try to post video updates during the development process, just for something more interesting than those damn monthly logs. :P

I'm not a .NET developer, so I cannot speak to the quality of the Mono project in general, but I know that they do provide mod_mono for ASP.NET integration into Apache. If that solution can work for you, then it might significantly increase the number of hosting companies you can check out.

@ravingidiot Ahh, that's interesting. I want to look into Mono for several things, but egh. I especially wish stuff like Silverlight were more crossplatform. u_u

I personally don't like ASP.net for website stuff. There are plenty of nice ways to do it with PHP. Maybe with Zend if you want to customize everything to the fullest or some CMS :)

@e3a2er I do not want to write a single line of PHP code ever again for my website. I already have to do it for other sites. ;P

I think PHP's biggest flaw is the same thing that has plagued Visual Basic: it seems like successive revisions of the language were careless attempts to shoehorn the latest and greatest features into it. For instance, the semantics of classes changed completely between PHP4 and PHP5. Meanwhile, we just got namespace support in PHP5.3, but it probably should have been there all along.

@DrRayLV, I think PHP has been getting better. It's got a lot of good features in it, but I personally find the language to be a bit wanting; but, then again, I've been spoiled with languages like C++. I think the reason for PHP's popularity is that it's extremely cheap to deploy PHP code, and that PHP belongs to the community. Those are both definitely important selling points. (cont'd)

Hey cool, my opinion makes a guest appearence =D I see the flaws you were talking about now. Knowing nothing about web development, these things are hard for me to spot. Good luck with the redevelopment! =D

[DrRayLV]

PHP is not bad, its just how you write it. Its my language of choice

@666Makkura666 Yeah, I mention the title thing in this video.
