ASP.NET Vs PHP: What Budding Developers Should Know to Start With

by IDS Logic Pvt. Ltd. Software Outsourcing Company

There is no doubt that both PHP and ASP.NET frameworks are great for the developers to work with, but one may have a few more advantages than the other. This debate has continued for the past many years and developers have always settled to choose the platform based on their experiences with each framework.

In this blog, we will make a comparison of both the frameworks so that any budding developer can decide on which platform to start with.

Here is an unbiased comparison between the two frameworks.

Performance and speed:

There is a myth about the speed and performance of a site, the language that you select helps to determine the overall performance of the site. Both PHP and ASP.net have helped to develop a lot of great websites, but still the question arises as to which one should you use?

It is true that there is a little difference between the performance of ASP.net and PHP websites. Both the frameworks are equipped to access the file system, display pages, find images on the web server and the speed relies much more on the database server, bandwidth and the end user’s computer and etc.

The performance of ASP.net may be comparatively better than PHP as it allows parallel programming, which allows chunks of codes to run at the same time. But this is not supported by PHP at all. But at the same time MailChimp and Facebook are written in PHP and is enough proof to dispel the notion that PHP sites offer low performance than ASP.NET sites.

Security: Which is better?

Another major difference between the two frameworks is the security option that they provide to us.  Both the platforms offer security features to the users, but ASP.NET has  trong built in security features like the SQL injections. In other words, it automatically does the work for you whereas PHP only offers you the tools. So, when it comes to building a secured application, developers prefer to use the .NET platform.

Scalability: Which framework can meet your growing business needs easily?

Both the platforms are highly scalable and while developing an application what matters the most is the resource that you hire. Regarding this, you should always consider the talent. If you are an entrepreneur and want to develop your website using Drupal, then PHP is the best option as it has the lowest learning curve. 

If you want to hire a team of developers for your project, then looking for the best expertise available is better than sticking to one single platform. Whether your resources are experts in PHP or ASP.net, it should only matter if your organization focuses towards using only one language.

Deployment time and costing:

Time and money are what developers and business owners love to save!

Completing complex jobs involves a lot of time with ASP.net than PHP. PHP is interpreted on the server and ASP needs to be compiled every time any modifications are made to the code, which makes the development process time consuming.

PHP is an open source that is completely free and can be used on Windows, Linux and Mac machines. ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft and has a web hosting fee. Its development services can only run on Windows machines.

Summary

It is pretty much difficult to decide on which platform is the winner. ASP.NET or PHP? Based on your business requirements and the type of resources you hire; you can develop your application or website with either of them. Both the frameworks have their own pros and cons and are capable of accomplishing complex web development tasks accordingly.
