Overall Satisfaction with ASP.NET
ASP.NET is used for our in-house software development, by our IT development teams. As a mature and stable framework, well used and well supported it is ideal for the development of everything from our small internal applications to our enterprise scale web applications - meaning both the internal and external customers interact with our ASP.NET applications.
- NET is a rich framework which provides vast amounts of functionality, which helps speed up development
- NET is supported by an array of high-quality tooling from Microsoft, such as TFS and Visual Studio
- There a large community of experienced ASP.NET developers which means patterns and practices are well documented and there is also plenty of discussion opportunities within the community, such as conferences, meetups, and forums.
- The large user base means that recruitment can be easier
- Cost is the main one - Microsoft tooling and infrastructure can be very expensive
- Some developers are anti-Microsoft which means not everyone is enthusiastic about joining a "Microsoft house"
- It is hard to quantify this point but it is no exaggeration to say that in-house ASP.NET development has vastly improved the profitability of our company, the speed of development being a key factor to staying ahead in the industry.
- PHP
PHP and the many associated frameworks are probably the main similar products around - however, the diversity and open source nature of these things can mean you are building on a moving foundation - the stability offered by ASP.NET is a plus for me and my team. The lie of the land may have changed for PHP more recently but historically that was an issue for me.
