I like the tool but is not THE TOOL **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2018 **What do you like best about ASP.NET?** I'm not expert in web programing but i think is a good start point . In the internet is a lot of papers and manuals to start using asp.net . Also is free version of the IDE , i think is call Express . The feature i find most usefull was all the objects where there , just with a few clicks it gets done my screen. **What do you dislike about ASP.NET?** If you are a front end developer is not for you , it gets the job done but is really ugly , comparing with other IDE that are no so simple but yes in the user interface . Also is not that easy to integrate with other server than IIS , you have tu ise another tricks to get the page working outside IIS. **Recommendations to others considering ASP.NET:** Is a good form to learn web development and a highway to create a web solution if you don't mind the looks **What problems is ASP.NET solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefit i saw is that learning web programing is much more like destokp programing , just need to think in the source code of my solution and then put it into the web . Also the express version helps student developers to use a tool of this size ### 4. Is getting behind from other web tecnologies **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pablo L. | Técnico de soporte a usuarios, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018 **What do you like best about ASP.NET?** What i like in all the microsoft tool is how easy to find the component , hoy easy is to work with the entire tool , the wizards are really helpfull when you are starting o yo do not want to spent time coding for a simple aplications just to test something.Also is pretty confortable for the developers to use the framework and don't need to think about the need of other classes and objetc , also the way to use the xml for web services is so much more complete than other language , you jus have to focus on the code and your logic . **What do you dislike about ASP.NET?** In this case is getting behind a lot , other IDEs are third party components friendly and working pretty agile in any machine , with ASP.NET now is really heavy to work and develop a pretty simple web get really big , other that for me a is a huge minus is that the front end is really poor , and other ides has much more to offer in this particular case. Also work with IIS native but if you have other tipe of server you have to implement a few tricks to get it to work. Beside the fact that all the wizards help you writing code , somete time the final result turns really heavy for something that shuold be simple , i think microsft should focus in how to optimize the code generator. **Recommendations to others considering ASP.NET:** Because how is try work only with his tools is only functional when you have Microsoft tools or a infrasctructure base on 80 % microsoft tools , otherwise is going to have problems with compatibility. **What problems is ASP.NET solving and how is that benefiting you?** We implement a solution to comunicate a oracle database with a windows mobile devices , that can't work together as a consult to a database , we implement a ASP.NET service to work with this solution , now asp.net ask for the data and gets translated to the windows mobile device and show it to he customer ### 5.
