Comparison of three major web development platforms
Filed in: Business, Development Add comments
I’ve created a web development summary chart comparing the major web application development platforms out there today. I’ve tried to make the comparison as unbiased as possible, and stick to mostly to business and technical reasons for choosing each one.
As you can see, there is no one perfect platform. They are all very capable, and which one you go with depends a lot on your business priorities.

We primarily use ASP.Net, although we’ll use PHP if the client has a low budget or is hosted somewhere that doesn’t support ASP.Net. I’m a big fan of what ASP.Net has done for our site-building processes around here (I’m sure its done even more for the development processes, but I wouldn’t know
). Especially with ASP.Net 2.0 - I’m in love with Master Pages!

I’ve heard good things about the newest version of ASP.NET, but also that the performance and reliability problems aren’t totally worked out yet.
Over time, I’ve found that ASP solutions are quick and easy to develop, but PHP solutions tend to be more reliable and maintainable in the long term.
