Well, this has always been a never dying comparison for me. I know a little bit of ASP.NET and a couple more in PHP but I generally program in PHP since I am happy with what I have done with PHP. So once again, I am more into programming my applications in PHP more than in AS, but hey that’s  just me so don’t take my word for it but you should try both and decide for yourself which programming language you would use.

In the PSU Eastern Cluster Forum (where i frequently post some thoughts), another member, named Freeza, posted things about the topic but is kinda failing to convince me to change from PHP to ASP.NET.

I do not hate ASP.NET but questioning the power of an open-source language against one that is now freely distributed by a corporation is just isn’t right. I know there are a lot of things that ASP.NET can easily do, like the datagrid, which is now also easily done in PHP with the use of classes (Thank GOD!). It is also easier to develop an application in ASP.NET since all is drag and drop with the help of a wizard! hehehehe!

A problem with ASP.NET is the cost of hosting for the application. Yes, you do not create an application to spend money but how will others know your application exists if they do not see how it works. How would they learn about your application? Would they need to go to your office and look at it personally? It’s just not worth the $ to spend on an online application.

Lastly, he/she pointed out that we are not on the same strata, well, it is true. I could earn money without me having a BOSS who would command me to do this or do that! Besides I do not need to prove to them that I can do a job, since a lot of people believe in my capacity as a programmer so a person like Freeza whoever he/she is is not on my strata, way below mine I think!

Another month has past and i haven’t have a decent post in my blog. I am really so busy with my work.

I do not even have time browsing those favorite blogs I frequently go to like RT’s UntwistedVortex, Spuds’ Nice4Rice, and alot more of those guys who have got me started with the traffic I had.

In the next few day, I might now be able to get back into my blog and give out some tutorials which I think would benefit those who wants to customize their blog (using WP) through the creation of themes. I have got alot of experiences off my work as a theme coder for a friend and would be more than happy to share a couple of things i have learned creating some themes that at first I thought wouldn’t be compatible with IE6+ and Firefox.

It was a really great experience working my brains to the limit with those themes. I couldn’t possibly give out those themes since I had sold them to my friend but I would be more that happy to code your wordpress theme for you.

Stay Tuned…

I am quiet busy, so no CSS, PHP, VB.NET or any programming tutorials this past few days.

Yeah! I have been busy with a this new theme for the site. I have been trying to get it done before wednesday but I don’t think I could actually pull it off. I am not good at designing and each day, I scrape a couple of areas now and then that is why it is really getting me over worked.

Another thing I am considering is the Links and Kisses section of the blog. As you have known I still have been worried about it last week. Nothing much has been done by yours truly on the tutorials but I had been busy trying to compose a super lengthy tutorials on PHP so keep posted.

Here are a couple of links that some of those VB.NET programmers out there who is not able to download the Express Edition, SharpDev could be used as alternative VB.NET 2005. I used it for my VB.NET programming, but you can also use it for your C# and BOO projects which is available for free - Sharp Develop 2.1

Additional information about the IDE is available on the IC#Code website.

I just found out a couple of bloggers gave me a link.

2Perfect’s Weblog who is a kababayan (someone who shares the same nationality as you are in Tagalog) gave Tiny Signs a full review.

I couldn’t possibly give out a review for them in the meantime - maybe one of this coming days.
