Building web pages and web applications require a developer to use advanced programming languages that offer innovative and accurate scripting and designing tools and a host of other website development features. Today, a developer can choose any one of the programming languages from a wide variety of language options available for creating an attractive website. However, two of the most popularly used programming languages are
ASP.NET Technology and PHP programming. Here, take a look at some of the major differences between PHP programming and ASP.Net programming.
What is PHP?PHP or Hypertext Preprocessor is a scripting program that has become immensely popular all over the internet owing to its large and highly active developer communities and also because it is easy to comprehend. A website programmed using PHP technology can be easily hosted on almost all the leading hosts. The PHP programming language is available free of cost and offers a wide variety of frameworks for simple yet effective website development. For instance, Facebook and WordPress have been created using PHP technology.
ASP.NET ExplainedThe ASP.net technology has been pioneered by Microsoft and offers the website developers exciting and easy-to-use scripting tools for creating web applications and web pages. The biggest advantage of ASP.Net programming is that it is highly flexible and offers a range of tools and features.
Differences Between PHP and ASP.NET ProgrammingBoth PHP and ASP.NET programming have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. iBrandox, a reputed
website development company in Gurgaon uses either of the programming languages for developing user-friendly and effective web pages and applications. Check out some of the differences between the two programming languages.
Cost Factor: Given that PHP is available for free of cost, the programming language is a little bit cost-effective for developers when compared to Microsoft’s ASP.NET programming language. In order to develop web pages and web applications using the ASP.NET technology, numbers of plugins are available free of cost, but the developer needs to purchase a few of the secured plugging for security reasons of the website and install Windows on their machines, and then use the programming language to finish their projects. However, today Windows hosting is available for relatively the same price as Linux hosting. Also, all the leading MNC’s and government organizations opt for
ASP.NET programming simply because it offers much more security (eg. Site Hacking) when compared to a PHP programmed web page or application.
Scalability Matters: Both the programming languages are easily scalable. A website developer essentially needs to use his/her skills and knowledge for developing a website using either of the languages.
Performance Level: The performance level of a web page or application is measured on the basis of how well their database, server, and script interact and function with each other. Most of the web-based applications that are created using the PHP language use Linux as its operating system, Apache as the server, PHP as the scripting language, and MySQL for database development. On the other hand, the ASP.NET can use both Microsoft SQL Server as well MySQL for its database.
Editors and Tools: Both the ASP.NET and PHP programming language offer a wide variety of editors and tools for creating web pages and applications. While PHP web developers use editors such as Notepad++ and VM, the ASP.NET developers use the highly popular Microsoft Visual Studio. However, the Microsoft Visual Studio offers a wide range of features, which makes it a better option when compared to any other PHP editor or IDE.
To conclude, the
Dot NET Programming is apt for companies that wish to use Microsoft-designed technologies. Also, when it comes to developing web pages and web applications, it is better that you choose .NET technology over PHP, simply because it is far more secure and provides a range of tools and editors for developing applications and web pages.
