Hey, I'm thinking of using ASP.NET and MySQL together on a large project. Does anyone have any experience in using these two on a large scale and are there any aspects I should be wary of?

I am looking for a good algorithm that can recommend content objects to user by calculating similarity between user and content object. To calculate it, we have the content object tags (meta data) and user's interest data. We can learn about user's interest in two ways: Explicitly asking him: Ask him to rate a particular content item...
This shouldn't be a difficult question, but I'd just like someone to bounce it off of before I continue. I simply need to decide what data structure to use based on these expected activities: Will need to frequently iterate through in sorted order (starting at the head).

I'm a C# programmer that is looking to branch out. I'm bored of writing business software and want to start getting into graphics programming and games/simulators. So I figured, although writing that stuff isn't impossible in managed code, the "right" way to do that would be to look to C++, of course focussing on the language first, th...
