Why ASP.Net Has No Friends
ASP.NET gets no Respect: Rick Strahl has written a really brilliant article about why ASP.Net gets a really bad rap. It s a great roll-up of all the arguments leveled against .Net, and Rick is objective enough to admit that some of them are even true. I think this is an ...

PHP: The Camaro of Programming Languages
Back in the 1980s, when I was in high school, the reigning Chevy performance cars were the Camaro and the Corvette. They were almost the same, but worlds apart at the same time. Back then, you could get the Corvette and Camaro with near identical powertrains -- the 350 cid ...

The Effects of ASP.Net Caching
