Well another dev and myself just had this exact same conversation. There is a lot changing and I see a new technology on Hacker News every day. To be honest, the main reason to look around is because there is so much change happening.
I don't believe .net is the best for us, we use it because we have so much written in it and our libraries are very large.
I am currently looking at NoSQL, Mongo seems to be the one we are favouring at the minute.
The one thing that really makes me want to experiment is knowing that sites like Facebook use multiple technologies to run the site and that's how I want to be.
I currently feel stagnant and trying to make our projects fit into .net.
I appreciate your comment
- hkarthik 15y agoI think a good strategy to insulate yourself from .NET is to slowly move your .NET code into RESTful services and isolate the dependencies there. The one big downside is that most of the alternatives are designed to work better with Unix based systems. That's usually a much bigger pill to swallow for an all Windows .NET shop so YMMV with pushing that. I know a shop trying to do Node.JS on IIS so that may be an option worth looking into to see if it works. YMMV here too, because it's really bleeding edge right now.
- chrislomax 15y agoWell I was aware of the IIS node.js plug-in. I am really interested in node.js as well. It may be worth like you say putting it into a service that we could consume from many languages and taking it from there. Our main issue really is our admin as it relies quite heavy ContentPlaceholders as we populate them on runtime but I am more interested right now in trying new technologies
