df3728 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hey guys, yesterday I talked with one web programmer on web development he suggested me three unique programs for my website, 1. Asp.net 2. Php 3. Sharepoint Well I am new and I don’t have any ideas, I just asked him what will be the best platform to use for my properties site, as I told him that I need to handle lots more database, he suggested me to opt for asp.net, he feels mysql is not much safe and not efficient to handle such huge database I wana know from this community which in these three will be best, or is there anything new? I need your valuable suggestion.. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155613-which-is-best-aspnet-php-sharepoint/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Well, since you're asking on a php forum, I think most people are going to say php is the best I've never tried ASP myself, so I can't comment on it. However, I can say that I think php is awesome. The syntax is cool, simple, but similiar to C++, which many people have learned before using PHP (or the other way round, either way it's useful to know one before the other). Besides, ASP is made by Micrsoft, so it probably sucks. And MySQL is fine for handling huge databases. It may not be as reliable/fast as databases such as Oracle or SQLite, but feature and user-friendliness wise it's the best in my opinion.

Mchl Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It may not be as reliable/fast as databases such as Oracle or SQLite jackpf: I strongly suggest, that you check what SQLite actually is And as to MySQL's scalability... if you there will only be one programmer working on the project, I really doubt it will be over what MySQL can handle Just take a look at case studies here: http://mysql.com/why-mysql/case-studies/ Will your app be bigger then these?

gizmola Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Why would he suggest Sharepoint? What are your requirements. We can't really give you an informed opinion about the suitability of a solution without those. While I have known developers who are relatively nimble in regards to their use of a web development platform, most developers focus on a particular set of tools, and have a preference. At the end of the day, if you are comfortable with a particular developer, you are best off going with what that developer has the most expertise with. Usually, people use asp.net because they are most comfortable in a microsoft environment, running windows servers. If that sounds like you, then asp and ms sql server is the way to go. If you're not looking for that, then there are cost advantages to going with a LAMP plaform. Obviously, those of us here on phpfreaks are biased towards Lamp.

Mchl Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 You are not. I'm not sure however, why you think it would be faster than a proper database server. Being a flat file it won't work all that well with multiple users accessing it at once.

jackpf Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's not a flat file database..? And I thought a flat file was faster than an sql server, because you don't have to go through the bother of connecting to the server. Ahh well, ignore me then Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155613-which-is-best-aspnet-php-sharepoint/#findComment-819235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It is a flat file database... in this you were not wrong The advantage of SQLite is that it has very low resource requirements. This makes it ideal for embedded applications (check your Firefox folders and you will find several sqlite databases) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155613-which-is-best-aspnet-php-sharepoint/#findComment-819238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
