to ASP.net or not to

[Jaan]

Hi,

I hope I am asking at the right place. I work as a web designer and use
Dreamweaver. Few days ago I was asked to write a web app similar to
yahoo!photos; where people can upload their pictures and create albums which
an be shared. I was thinking of doing it using PHP (because I've been using
it for a while) but couple of my co workers recommended using asp.net I am
curious what advantage will I have using asp.net for this kind of application
because the hosting with asp.net is more expensive.

thx

This is a Classic ASP newsgroup. .NET groups have dotnet in their name.
You might get a better response there.

we'll say 'not to'
use ASP (of course) - or JSP and servlets

Not to go against the group, but...

I think you will be able to accomplish that task with PHP, there are tons of
resources out there and since you are already accustomed to PHP, you should
be alright.

HTH,
