| Re: Which is better, ASP / PHP / JSP
Because PHP is extremely easy to program (though I am a JSP developer not a .NET one) in comparison. It also has, far and away (IMHO) the best resources and open source material on the internet - someone has already done most of the hard work for you if you are any good at using Google 
Hosting is generally cheaper too- even premium/dedicated stuff.
PHP is also better understood by the current generation of developers.
I'm a JSP developer predominantly but have really come to appreciate PHP - things are so easy in it that for small scale apps it is a good choice. I also think that people overplay the performance issues - if you have a good dedicated server for PHP it is not going to be much different in speed than a JSP or .NET server.
If you want to start looking at larger scale apps then I would suggest JSP/J2EE and .NET offer a better framework for developing, but not because of performance - having precomiled classes & webpages as well as strong typing mean that run time errors are much less likely to happen.  |
