Totally agree with this post. .Net is easy in many ways for medium sized company. For higher traffic sites, .net has still a long way to go.

Most of the .net problems are with Windows OS not being as reliable as Unix & Linux Servers.

.Net is beautiful for its simplicity in lot of ways.

Framework 3.0 is simply beautiful.

Microsoft should open up. Should release run-time for Unix/Linux. It could make whole lot of money if it embraces Linux. MS Linux sounds sweet to me.

@Ashish: The resources and community for .NET is one of the things I like the most about it.

Overall the people seem a little less snarky… for example, if a newbie has a very basic question, people are more willing to answer it instead of telling them to search first.

And yeah… getting a complex .NET app on Mono can be a challenge. That’s one area I wish Microsoft would address. I realize they don’t want to cannibalize their Windows Servers sales, but still, wouldn’t spreading .NET and .NET tools like Visual Studio help offset that?

@Dave: Thanks for the support Just a note, but our software is actually install-on-your-own-server software. We thought about SaaS, but in the end, realized that most companies would prefer to host their own data.

@Siraj: I can’t wait for those as well!!

It’s great to see a SaaS startup like this on the .NET platform. Best of luck to you guys.

I worked on Java, LAMP and .NET. I enjoyed all the platoforms. .NET is a bit special because this platforms provides great resources like libraries, excellent tools (Visual Studio) and itegrated environment (IIS, SQL Server, Office development, MS CRM, MS Sharepoint, Biztalk). All these things makes its first choice for projects starting form small desktop utilities to large enterprise products. Again it depends on requirement. its not easy to run complex .NET application on linux box even using Mono.

Jish,

Based on my .NET and Java experiences, the performance is comparable, the only difference is in one’s implementation.

Someone might say ASP.NET ViewState slows down the page load time, but that argument is false in its assumption in my personal opinion.

In comparison to many other implementations which use session state or other approaches, I like viewstate much better as long as you don’t abuse it. That’s the key.

Hope that helps.

newbie question…

is there any issue in performance?
meaning a web site built on .NET vs anything that you experts mention, will it have the same performance to load, to retrieve, to post etc?

Hi AJ,

I can definitely relate. I remember telling my friends (mainly Java and PHP developers) that I was choosing .NET and they all just stood their in silence.

The sad thing is none of them have even used .NET and yet they still bash it… oh well, they don’t know what they’re missing!
