I like how the author made the point about the commenting. I never realised it until I started my work training at a big company. I'm reading my colleague's C# (ASP.NET MVC) code and find it requires no commenting to understand even though I started learning C# pretty much on the job.
I then had to laugh when I needed to explain some JavaScript (and jQuery) I wrote to him and exclaimed, "What the hell is this doing!". I had to get back to him a few minutes later on.
As for Java and C# on the web. I just wish it was more accessible to smaller companies. 100% of my freelance stuff are using cheap hosting that rarely support anything more than Perl/PHP.

I just wish it was more accessible to smaller companies. 100% of my freelance stuff are using cheap hosting that rarely support anything more than Perl/PHP. One year ago I would have agreed with you, but I have since discovered some of the newer PaaS solutions like CloudFoundry / Pivotal CF [1] and OpenShift [2]. I'm using Pivotal CF for my current side project (a public website + web service) and am paying about $7/month.

- hhandoko 12y agoPHP vs ASP.NET hosting prices are close to parity now. Some ASP.NET web hosts offers $10/mo plans (a bit more if you want to use SQL Server). Or go with Azure Websites (Shared), starting from ~$15/mo if you think you need to scale up real soon. The same goes with development costs as well (if you are using a Windows machine already). Visual Studio Community edition is free and has support for extensions (where Express does not). They are great for freelancers. Do note that commercial licensing kicks in for > 5 developers.
