Nat,
No offence taken. You make a good point about poor coders being able
to mess up a project no matter what language they use. I think that
what we don't currently have is the experience using the compiled
(ASP.NET) architecture vs a scripting (PHP/ASP) architecture. For the
projects that we are doing, the compiled approach involves too much
overhead for the fairly simple pages we create. I have confidence that
our programmers will be able to use the expanded functionality (more
functions and object oriented programming) available in PHP where ASP
was holding us back. And, yes I know that ASP has been long dead and
believe me we have wanted to make the switch away from it for a while
but with our size it's hard to dedicate people to migrating code or
creating new "widgets" when we can easily throw in our ASP components
that are developed and tested. It's a bit of a catch-22 since we will
eventually be held back by this strategy and that's where we are today.
I do think that we will be able to move forward with PHP and be better
for it.
Thanks again for all of the comments!
