poor guy, he actually thinks asp.net is good

poor guy, he actually thinks asp.net is not good

he sucks at html...of course he is going to like asp.net

At least he tried some other frameworks and languages. All I hear here is the all too common PHP fanboy responses.

Just because he tried doesn't mean he knows anything about them. The arguments are ridiculous, e.g. in his mind PHP is worse because he "doesn't feel OO paradigm with it" - oh, come on. If you want to compare them at least stick to the facts and comments on actual features not personal taste.

I don't suck at html. I am quite an expert on HTML and Javascript and DHTML. That's why I am frustrated with it. Think of this:

Now this generates an html table that is fully sortable and pagable. And it is fully ajax enabled. Try doing this with pure html and javascript.
In my honest opinion html is the assembly language of the web.
Imho
This generates some

sorry my html is trimmed. by dzone. It was just a gridview within an update panel. 5 lines of code

I think it was a great article and you shouldn't let these language/framework warriors get to you ;)
Nice writeup, keep it coming :)

I would rather see a technical comparison of various web frameworks, as opposed to the rambling observations of a developer. Something like that article "Tapestry and Wicket compared" posted on here recently.

Also, my takeaway from this article is: "if you want to use ASP.NET on Linux, be prepared to reinvent the MVC wheel." Not a big selling point of ASP.NET, imo.

Maybe the author will opensource the ASP.NET library he created?

Actually ASP.NET works out of box on Linux. What I re-invented was an MVP pattern (not MVC) it was just for unit testing.
I'll post the details of it in a later post. You are right about there wasn't enough technical comparison of java frameworks and asp.net. This is because I used java frameworks back in 2004 and all I remmeber was my observations.

However I believe I presented a through technical comparison for Rails and Flex which are fresh in my memory

As long as it's from M$, no one who cares about open standards or interoperability will use it. You have to be insane to code a Linux ASP.Net app when so many other, equally good or better native options are available. The argument is that ASP.Net runs on Linux is a joke really...no one can take that seriously (and not too many Linux people take Mono seriously any way...it's too tainted with the whole M$ connection thing...)
