ASP.NET C# and VB web development vs PHP

“A question we are asked on occasion is; should I build my web application using ASP.NET or PHP? In this brief article we detail our thoughts on why we work with ASP.NET and how this helps underpin our overall mission in being the best technical / development specialist agency in London. Before actually answering the question, one point to make is actually ASP.NET is a framework rather than a programming language, so really the comparison here should be between ASP.NET C#, or ASP.NET Visual Basic, and PHP. Between C# and VB, C# has emerged as the winner – really there’s not a great deal of difference between them these days other than syntax and of the two C# is more concise. The biggest reason though to pick C# over VB is that Microsoft and the community have chosen C# over VB and most example code and applications are now written in C# – ASP.NET MVC is also almost always programmed in C# in our experience. Onto the comparison of ASP.NET and PHP…. 1) ASP.NET has a steeper learning curve therefore many agencies will likely therefore program with PHP in-house as it can be more easily picked up and learned to a reasonable level. There are not many really advanced technical web development agencies like ourselves that just specialise in high quality ASP.NET development.”
