subject: Aspnet Is Better Than Other Web Programming Languages [print this page] Web developer newbies today have a difficulty to choose which language they want to use for web development. Just because there are so many choices on the market.
However, This article will cover just the most popular languages today including Microsoft ASP.NET, PHP and JSP.
This topic will go deeply into Microsoft ASP.NET and will cover seven things that made ASP.NET outstanding from any other web development languages.
Let's see now.
1. The most intelligence IDE (Integrated Development Environment) on the market. Microsoft Visual Studio has been proven to be the best IDE for enterprise-graded application development. Some say it's expensive but the truth is "You get what you pay for". And the best is, if you think it's not smart enough. You can find more plug-ins that will make your Visual Studio smarter.
2. Fully optimized for performance. As normally, ASP.NET web applications will be built as a pre-compiled application. It means the web server will not need to compile the application again when it's in production stage. The other languages did not provide this and are working on an interpreted base. Which is much slower than the pre-compiled one.
3. Less code produces the same result. As Microsoft Visual Studio is very smart today. Some modules in the application may not require you to write any code! Such as back office and data entry modules. Just follow the wizard and click then you've got it!
4. Reverse engineering prevent. As there are many techniques you can use to prevent your application from reverse engineering by unknown hackers. And it is a safer model than using something like ZEND encoder or else.
5. Code behind model. This is a must if you are serious about protecting your source code in your private PC only. You just upload .ASPX which contains just HTML code and hide your source code into .DLL files. With this model, you can play safe on your web server unlike those PHP or JSP that required you to put source code into web hosting.
6. Integrated with latest technologies. Mention to AJAX. You do not need to take your time to learning the external libraries with ASP.NET because the extension model is nearly to same as what ASP.NET working. Very short learning curve.
7. A powerful debugger. With built-in debugger of Microsoft Visual Studio, you can debug and find the root cause of the problem easily. And the best is that you can do remote debugging from developer's PC.
Conclusion
Even the evaluation result will made Microsoft ASP.NET the best language for web development. But you need to choose wisely as there are many factors to consider. Such as Microsoft ASP.NET required Microsoft Windows Server to operate on while PHP or JSP just required an open source operating system only. This will bring you a maintenance cost.
However, If the maintenance cost is not your problem. You really want to go for Microsoft ASP.NET. It's really enterprise-graded.
