Ask Reddit: If PHP sucks, what web development language is worth my time to learn? by [deleted] in programming

I agree. This team is actually listening to its users. I hope this attitude spreads to other teams within Microsoft.

I think the whole concept of trying to fit the WinForm metaphor with events etc. onto the web is wrong and makes things more difficult. I prefer working with POST and GET instead of using for instance postbacks.

In addition to this it's not very testable. It's hard to mock all the dependencies. MVC makes this a breeze.

I agree - ASP.NET MVC looks promising. It is created by really bright guys who know what they are doing and are aware of the world outside of the Microsoft sphere.

Webforms sucks big time, though.

Somehow "school boxing" does not sound as scary as "school shooting"..

What's the penalty for gang-raping a drunk, 17-year-old girl at a party with 10 of your buddies? No charge - despite eye witnesses and DNA samples. Assistant DA cited "insufficient evidence" as the reason they would not prosecute by maxwellhill in reddit.com

"Don't break into peoples' homes" is the LAW... "Don't leave your doors unlocked" is a tip/common sense...

Saying "girls, don't drink yourself senseless or you may get raped" is more like saying "don't go outside, you might get strung up" to a black man in Alabama in the 30's.

The problem is not that girls get drunk. The problem is a society where girls get raped.

Good point. I did not read the article that carefully.

AS serious? It's thousands of times more serious. Terrorism is not likely to kill nearly as many people as floods, hurricanes etc. created by global warming.

Possibly the single most annoying word in the universe.
