PHP or ASP.NET?
Feb 9th
The other day a friend of mine was telling me he was going to start a new project. He wanted to develop a new web app from scratch, and was telling me he was going to use PHP. He did have experience with ASP.NET from some other projects, so I told him to use this technology. But he still preferred PHP. The reasons he gave me were:
- PHP is free. You do not have to pay to use it. With ASP.NET you need to pay a whole bunch of licenses.
- PHP runs faster than ASP.NET.
- PHP hosting is cheaper.
- Out there on the internet, you can see more PHP than ASP.NET applications.
- There’s more CMS on PHP than on ASP.NET.
Ok, he had his reasons, but I didn’t fully agree with him. So I discussed some of those ideas with him:
