Hello Guys
Using C# means .NET framework will need to be installed and
your webapp will
only work with Microsoft OS
Not entirely true. The Mono project ( www.mono-project.com ) has
implemented a decent amount of the .NET Framework in a cross-platform
environment, including much of ASP.NET.
Be aware scripting languages such as PHP and Python will
necessitate that
you acquire all of the libraries for your web app..
As long as you stay mainstream you should be ok
But if you have specific requirements for XYZ Db that nobody
supports or
protocols or device drivers that nobody has written you'll
have to write the
libraries yourself
