wouldnt be the first time i was wrong, and definitely not the last
but asp classic and asp.net are two different things, and because asp.net is 100% object orient versus the flat/linear nature of php, i would say its my preference as far as power is concerned.
and how often does Windows use cronjobs??? why would it.
I would actually prefer ruby, but that probably is not gonna happen.
And despite the "community" in php -- i have found that its difficult to find GOOD coders. Plenty of coders, but not many "good" ones. Im sure there are plenty who feel otherwise, but thats my opinion, please keep your flames to yourself guys.
And as someone who has been a project lead developer for 15 years, I am going to say - I will take windows any day over *nix.
This could be the very reason why MYSPACE is switching to ASP.NET and using IIS.
it sounds like your experience is all in *nix. Maybe your response would be different if you did the other technologies too, I really dont like php at all for a growing project
but again, as you say php and mysql can run on windows, but well, the fact is, your trying to convince me to change my servers to unix is evidence you would not be able to complete the task to my specifications.
If I own servers, why would i get new ones just to please a coders preference????
anyway - thanks alot for your offer, but as stated before it needs to run EFFECTIVELY on win2k3 -- anti-windows coders need not apply.
thanks for your time
