Rediscovering PHP
Tags: PHP, web applications March 21st. 2009, 1:06am
After doing all of my web-related development in ASP.NET exclusively for the last year or so I am rediscovering the grace of PHP.
While ASP.NET is extremely easy to use (RAD development, etc.), PHP has one major thing going for it that ASP.NET can’t match yet, namely: performance.
Although it’s possible to create high-performance pages with ASP.NET, it’s not without some terrible strife and hacking on the programmer’s side. Another nice thing (but not a PHP feature) is Apache’s mod_rewrite, God, how I’ve missed that in IIS.
It’s possible that in the near future some PHP related content is coming your way as I’m working on a few big projects done in the language.
Cheers!
