Why Use Asp??

why use ASP when most cooperative buisness are using PHP

can any one tell me the main diffrerence between perl, ASP and PHP, for example why use one rather than the other.

is there a particular advantage with ASP compared to PERL and PHP

Oh boy the infamous debate again...

There are so many articles out there, try searching google.com for ASP vs PHP and what not...trust me, you'll find more then you can bargain for!

They are all SERVER-SIDE technology/language there isn't one better then the other.

In fact, you shouldn't even want to know since .NET is recently new so why not dig your teeth into that?

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

I don't know that "most" businesses are using PHP. Many use asp or other technologies as well. It partly depends on the corporate mindset. PHP is open source, and thus you don't need a license to use it. This savings can be a factor in the decision. Asp integrates particularly well with microsoft apps and languages, so if you have lots of vb programmers, asp is easy to learn and use. PHP is more like C++, so if you know that, you may be more comfortable with PHP. I would consider both php and asp easier to use and work with than perl, but others might disagree. They can all be used to do the same thing, mostly, so its more a matter of what you know, and what you'll pay, and which one you try first.

firetrap,

Perhaps, instead of posting this same question in both the ASP and PHP boards, you should have just posted in the Lounge? Just a thought.

The most popular server-side scripting languages are ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP (not in order of popularity). Other popular langs are Perl, Python, JSP/Java/J2EE, TCL, and Ruby (I'm sure there are more... )

You need to evaluate your company's needs, budget, and desired features, etc. No one but you can make this decision, as no one but yourself knows exactly what your needs are.

firetrap,

Why do you keep asking these inane questions? Your totally wrong on most of them too. Most big corporations are using ASP due to pacts signed in blood during the golden years with Microsoft. And that was fine and dandy till the market hit the iron wall in past few years. Many of these companies are looking at PHP and other open source items to get away from a high TCO and cutting cost structure anywhere possible, hence entire floors are and divisions are being sent to india and wasting my damn time on the phone. Not to mention can they not answer any of my damn questions, neither can anyone else's, i'm third level support on ms's sharepoint, you think i have any idea why a microsoft product is a piece of crap? pffft, it's 1.0, what'd you expect? it to work? ha

And what was with calling msSQL access? Where do you get this stuff?

hi unatratnag

its sound like your having a bad day, no need to take your anger outr on me or on DEVSHED

if you dont liek my questions you dont have to answer them

im a newbie to these forum and im trying to learn something new

as for where i get these things is from what i read on people web site and from google

sorry for my lack of knowledge on things but people have to start somewher and learn

Ok buys and girls...let's not start another JaneWu / HotWu thread here...its Friday and I'm getting my new computer today :-)

Can't wait...

What kind?

Is the question pointed at me?

If so, its a

P4 2.4Ghz
1Gig DDR RAM(two chips of 512)
ASUS motherboard the P4P800 something(multi-threading new thing, well its not new but...)
GeForce 4 (for Quake of course!)
60 Gig Maxtor HD
Floppy crap...
A DVD ready/CD Writer (all in one)


Didn't want a DVD writer but a CD Writer!


Now I didn't get a sound card nor a ethernet card since they are ON the motherboard.

I'll eventually change that when I'll get more money but for now, and from what I've heard, its quite reliable so...will see!

No screen, no mouse, no keyboard, no printer...who needs them ;-)

I just need the TOWER of POWER I'll code on paper since I don't have a keyboard...

hehe

Pretty nice setup, though I would tack on a bigger hdd, for my music and movies (legit copies, of course). What did it run you, and from where? (If you don't mind my asking)

taxes included canadian cur() comes to 1400$ from a little shop call(Microscott here in Montreal) where the guy knows is stuff. He's like a 40 yrs old computer geek guy(not married obviously and probably sleeps in his shop)


60 Gig, for me, is enough since I don't download movies.
Music, well I burn them if I need but I usually buy the records/CD to support the artist...I know how it is for them


What is expensive is the 2.4 gig and the GeForce4 which isn't necessary...humm wait of course it is what am I saying!
