You know it's time to 'take 5' when...

Then again, you could argue that PHP is a hobby language and ASP is enterprise class, so meh....

Certainly - PHP is brilliant at what it does but it just doesn't compete with the big boys at the enterprise level. It was never really supposed to, though, so that's fine. I love PHP for lots of things, and it appears I'm going to love ASP.NET for others.

I just wish ASP.NET wasn't so expensive to host

Aye - how's mod_mono doing these days for ASP.NET support? Long time since I even looked at it o.o

And I've never ever looked at it

No idea.

Dammit.. why did I ever get into programming? It gives me grief at every corner.. a colleague for a project, just sent me his bits and bobs for one of the modules.. I open it to check out the method names and see this at the top of most of the pages..:

Code:

if ($_POST) { //this type of if() just makes me weep..
doSomethingWith($_POST['var']); //straight into functionality without explicitly checking for indice
}

(obviously not like-for-like)

ARGH!

I'm falling in love with ASP.NET I feel really dirty

Im doing my first project at work in ASP.NET, since using lots of classic ASP and PHP and let me tell you, it is p****** me off no end! Moving from scripts to ASP.NET is a headache, no question. Obviously, once you get going it gets easier and you start to realise the benefits, but trying to get into it is like moider! :eek:

Pretty banal at the start but they get good

Im going through these myself at the moment. Theres quite a lot on that site... I guess MS spalsh out on all this to get people using more servers where the $$ is.

I have to say it looks quite good, any other resources going and online tutorials? Or should I steer clear

They aren't made by Microsoft at all
