ASP.Net Vs PHP Vs JSP
An age old and the most frequent question among the programming world people. This question has been haunting the IT community from centuries ;-)
.Net
.Net Technology has been growing ever since it was launched by Microsoft. The biggest bliss for this technology is it having the support of Microsoft. Microsoft, the world's largest software company has been the front runner in bringing technology to the world.
Some of the biggest and the most robust applications have been developed using this technology. Moreover, it is easier when compared to JAVA. The coding environment is much easier and this makes the technology popular. As a result the competition also sores high. Hence, the package available for this technology in the market is lower than that of JAVA. But jobs are frequent and freshers can get an entry into the IT world quite easily. Most of the large as well as small companies work on .Net. It is well supported by the APIs from Microsoft which keeps on researching the vacancies and provides the best solution at the best time. This technology has proved it self a leader in the programming technology world.
PHP
Now we come to that technology which has found great respect with the programming world very soon. It has proved its merit by supporting databases as huge as Facebook. We do not need to doubt the capabilities of PHP. The best part of this technology is it being open source and hence its technology is being contributed to from programmers from all over the world every moment. It has people from diverse domains of earth contributing to its betterment and competition.
This technology is also dedicated completely for people who are willing to materialize their dreams of being a web developer. This technology is relatively easier to learn as compared to the JAVA and .Net.
It can be coded even in Notepad and also with the latest development environments like Netbeans.
The hosting community is growing for PHP applications. Better coding environments are available each day.
When we compare the salary packages available with PHP as compared to .Net and JSP, we will say PHP lies at the bottom of the pyramid. It could be comparable to .Net in some companies but definitely not with JAVA.
But yes, when we compare the job opportunities with PHP, we find it the most attracting.
JSP
And now the J for JAVA technology. The most dared technology for the students. It is definite that it is tougher in coding and planning as compared to .Net and PHP. But that does not mean totally that no programmers are available for learning this technology. No. Lots of novice and (never programmed) students/ professionals are available to learn this technology. It takes time to learn anything and JAVA is no exception . But, yes, this has better packages in the industry and more respect in the programming community.
But an entry for freshers into the JAVA professional world is tough. One may find getting JAVA jobs rare. But once you are IN you are IN.
Moreover, it is backed by SUN and Now ORACLE which makes this technology evergreen just like .Net. Big applications are mostly coded in this technology. It is well supported by third party tools such as Struts, Springs and Hibernate.
Conclusion:
It totally depends upon the past experiences and interest of the learner. If one is good at programming and needs to explore a smart opportunity and is patient to find a job and lead a programmers world, you could choose JAVA.
If one is keenly interested only in the web technologies and wishes to develop a career in it or wishes to start something of his own in terms of business, you could choose PHP. You could also choose PHP if you need a job within a month. Give your best shot for a month and join a job in PHP. You will get it !! :-)
And when I talk of .Net, I talk of opportunities, a handsome package and a brighter future. But competition will be there. You definitely need an edge to beat the competition. That edge could be your personality (besides programming), your team skills, your communications, your project management skills.
I hope this discussion would help you solve your doubts about the three choices, JAVA, .Net or PHP questions.
Comment, views, gratitudes (if possible) are expected below.
Thanks :-)
