When working with a web development company there is always an issue arises when someone rings up and asks if they could change the way their website works, either applying a CMS back-end or changing the way the users interact with the website. The odd occasion we have been asked to replace one specialised content management system with another.
As mentioned before in my previous post that I am learning ASP.net. While I come from a PHP background (procedural coding), moving from one to another is a task I thought I was not looking forward too.
As you know, there is the open source world and there’s Microsoft world. Microsoft upgraded ASP, to compete with PHP and Java. While ASP is a Microsoft technology it now can be used on Linux based systems as well. While people might bad-mouth ASP.net the framework is rather good at completing hard tasks which alone could take days to complete using standard style coding to just a matter of hours in ASP.net.
ASP.net is not a language, it is a building structure aka a framework which allows simplicity of creating dynamic websites more efficiently. ASP.net can use many languages such as visual basic, c++, c# and open source projects allowing PHP to be included. As these are compiled at run-time, they will all do the same thing and perform the same as long as they are coded similar.
Not been much of an update lately. I have been busy diving my head in the world of ASP.NET, but more on that in another post. Over the last few weeks, Steve Jobs (Apple) has become pretty much a dictator. With the issue of anyone who makes fun of the Apple ipod /Iphone interface on American TV to ram-shacking the home Mr lam of gizmodo because of possession of the Apple Iphone 4g prototype.
