Possible Duplicates:
Career with PHP or ASP.NET?
Learning PHP or ASP.NET?
I would like to become a web programmer. I am a database programmer and would like to change directions. I can't decide whether to focus my efforts on PHP/LAMP vs. Microsoft .NET. Any thoughts?
My opinion is that both can be used to accomplish what you need so just choose a technology that fits you best. Try creating a few simple projects in both to see which one you seem to understand better. The language is a tool.
It also can depend on your background. If you are a old ASP developer or VB developer, then .NET will be much easier to pick up.
Another item to consider is platforms. .NET for the most part runs in Microsoft shops. There is the MONO framework which is cross-platform but for the most part, .NET developers work in Microsoft shops.
I personally am a .NET guy so I tend to favor .NET but there is no right or wrong answer here. I think both are here to stay long term.
This is a very subjective question.
It really depends on the kind of things you want to work on and what you prefer. PHP is a better solution for some projects, .NET for others.
.NET is very strict and type casted, where as PHP is more 'loose' and easier to learn in my opinion.
I don't think there's a right and wrong answer here.
