I find it humorous that these types of debates keep coming back up -- no matter what the topic, the IT world can not seem to agree on anything. OS wars - Browser wars - coding languages. It all gets very tiring. Bottom line - go with what you like and with what can get the job done. Myself personally, I have never found something that I could not do in PHP. However, that being said, a lot of companies simply do not want to leave off the Microsoft model. So if you want to work for those companies you will need to know ASP. In the end, it is all about marketability. You want to be able to put yourself in a position where are your needed by a company -- best way to do that -- learn both. Just my 2 cents. <?php /* Stephen Johnson c|eh The Lone Coder http://www.thelonecoder.com stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 562.924.4454 (office) 562.924.4075 (fax) continuing the struggle against bad code */ ?> > From: Greg Donald <destiney@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: Greg Donald <destiney@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 15:32:42 -0600 > To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [HAB] PHP or ASP.Net > > On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 13:15:08 -0800 (PST), OOzy Pal <oozypal@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> In a long debate with a friend, he tried to convince >> my that ASP.Net is the language to go for.
