This is not the first time I've noticed this omittance on HN posts. Even though ASP.NET is one of the biggest web development frameworks on the planet, used by many, many companies, a lot of these so called web developers pretend like it doesn't even exist. Have they even used C# I wonder? The Microsoft grudge runs deep in Silicon Valley.

Came here to ask the same question. We built www.staffsquared.com with .Net, I think it's on par with anything I've seen created with "trendy" languages.

  It looks good, HTML source is pretty clean as well.

    Did you look inside #habla_beta_container_do_not_rely_on_div_classes_or_names ?

      Seems like that's markup generated by a third party tool their site uses for chat.
      - mattyod 13y ago
        and some pretty sweet markup it is indeed.

I've noticed this as well. It's unfortunate, I think, that I still run into a lot of people who carry unfounded negative opinions on c# web development simply because of their personal bias against Microsoft. But c'est la vie, this is a common problem in the realm of programming, champion <your language here> disregard <set of all other languages>.

  I can assure you all my prejudice towards c# web development comes from experience.

    Excellent. I can assure you that I wasn't including you in the set of people whose prejudice doesn't come from experience.

Great post, thanks for the effort. But I definitely second BigChief on this, please include ASP.Net MVC and for completeness ASP.Net Web Forms. Thanks
