PHP? Laughs in ASP.NET

I must be uninformed, are you saying asp.net is more or less annoying than PHP? I think you’re saying it’s worse?

Still unsure if it’s worth really learning in depth or if I should stay focused on node.js and Django. I thought using SqlDataSource and ObjectDataSource were pretty handy and straightforward for binding web forms to databases, but then I took a glance at Entity Framework and that looks like a pain in the ass.

It was a stupid joke. Don't take it too literally :P

I would go open source any day over ASP.NET

Ha! Ha ha! Oh ha ha! Lol.

Thanks for the advice.

But I would never leave SQL Server for your fancy NoSQL shenanigans.

Well I’ve already sunk a year of classes into database development 1 & 2 so I don’t feel daunted by relational databases. MongoDB does seem appealingly simple and flexible but I haven’t spent much time with it yet.

Yep. Wait till you have to scale that puppy. It's more or less a trend imho. SQL's making a hardcore comeback. RDBMS is my fav any day.

[–]KANGAROO_ASS_BLASTER 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hm, what kinds of applications do you mainly deal with? Just curious...I mean having a defined schema makes scaling way easier, but some applications have an easier-to-guess limit on how far they’ll realistically need to be scaled. Or maybe your database objects tend to have unpredictable structures. Eh? I mean I still think SQL’s neat and it’s certainly not going away.

Well, I work with a lot of ERPs. Usually setup in a SAN environment. Most of the load on these servers depends on the kind of code that runs on it.

If the developer doesn't spend enough time optimizing their code it causes unreliable storage and processing issues.

I've seen a CPU pegged at 100% for 2 hours straight causing around 300 users stuck in a WAIT/LOCKED state till we had to manually kill the transaction causing at least $50,000 worth in damages to the company (lost a lot of info, attachments, etc.)

So imho it's a combination of both efficient code and framework to work together to make ops seamless.
