In my current work, i build the website application using PHP. And no one informed me that. It should not be used. :/
Because its considered as a scripting language, and they dont want it. But ASP is allowed. (heh)
Well, to cut my story short. I will be migrating from PHP to ASP.NET or CFM.
The only thing is, i can't decide which to use? Is it ASP.NET or CFM?
Im aware that this is an ASP.NET headquarters and CFM will not be the choice of others.
My only concern is, will ASP.NET be that easy/hard for a total PHP developer like me? As in i dont know how good can i be in ASP.NET, i have no idea what multiple languages are in a .NET. I saw a tutorial that it can use VB, C#? etc to develop/create ASP.NET.
What makes it so different with PHP? For PHP, i know its only one code. I mean, their is no other language inside it. Its PHP, thats it.
My current setup is PHP and MySQL, and most of the post on this forums, if they have migrated they sometimes choose MS SQL. I think that would be one of my scenario too.
Hope you got my situation right now. :/ Hope u can help me.
thanks
I am a PHP Developer, Now learning ASP.NET. I want to be an ASP.NET Developer soon!
I feel that ASP.NET is a good choice when you are comparing with CF. To begin with you need not have to bother about multiple languages. You can pick of any language of your choice (object oriented languages)....like that in PHP......say C# or VB.NET.
1. You can download .NET Framework which is Free
2. Use can use Web Matrix IDE for faster development which is Free
3. You can continue to use mySQL if required
4. The .NET and ASP.NET are much more robust than CF and are highly scalable.
You can download the following free e-Book on ".NET Tutorials For Beginners" written by community volunteers.

You didn't mention if you need it to run on Linux and/or Windows. If your company (or you) are on the Linux/FreeBSD, etc only bandwagon I'd say that CF would obviously be your choice (or stay with PHP) as ASP.NET doesn't run on Linux (and Mono isn't quite
ready for enterprise development...yet). My fulltime job pays me to do Windows only web development (usually intranet sites) but I use PHP for my side work and have to say I like both for different reasons. If you work for a company that can afford the MSFT
costs and needs some of the benefits that MSFT has to offer I'd say go with MSFT. If you're in an environment where a larger number of developers don't have a lot of experience and your company is trying to keep costs to the bone (not taking into account
the time saved by using some of the MSFT tools) choose CF. This is not intended to start a flame war...just offering my 1/2 cent.

Honestly I don't agree, there are some very large scale websites running CF. Unless you know someone on the inside that talks about problems their having I'd have to say they run pretty flawless.

NOTE: I'm not a CF developer but have researched it for some work related stuff as well as having friends that are CF developers.
