ASP.NET is no longer the go to choice for people wanting to learn about web development unless it is in the context of a company which is already using it.
More people seem to have heard of PHP when they think of programming, in the same way that Visual Basic was in the 90s.
- 300bps 13y agoYou realize ASP.NET MVC is substantially different than ASP.NET, right? From a coding perspective it is completely different and worlds better.
- jiggy2011 13y agoIt's not so much a question of better or worse, it's more about mindshare. Especially with beginner developers. In the web world the onus is on MS to justify why they have advantages over Open source solutions rather than the other way around (as it was with desktop software).
- 300bps 13y agoI agree with your point. But I was just asking if you knew there was a difference between ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET. I was curious because I said ASP.NET MVC and you responded with a criticism of ASP.NET. I find there are a lot of developers that moved away from technologies like ASP.NET (rightfully) and they believe that Microsoft's offering hasn't changed since then.
- jiggy2011 13y agoIt was really a grab bag term since the same point still stands. I am aware that there are other technologies, the last I used with .Net was monorail which seemed to be a reaction to rails before there was an official MS version.
