What do you like best about ASP.NET?

It's funny because I began developing with Microsoft Access then moved to .Net WinForms. Unfortunately when I decided to go back to school and learn web none of the local colleges taught on the Microsoft stack so I ended up learning open source technologies like PHP, HTML, Javascript etc

Anyway several years forward my employer just gave me the go head and has been allowing me to train developing in ASP.Net this last week. Wow!! I absolutely love it... I can't wait until I am familiar enough with the platform to start breaking out projects without much thought but you guys have done an outstanding job bringing all the different technologies together.

What do you dislike about ASP.NET?

The only thing I wish you had was the WYSIWYG form builder. I know Microsoft Access and WinForms has spoiled us in this fashion.... but this is truly every desktop developers desire to be able to drop you controls in place and set properties likewise! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ASP.NET:

I think most people are like me and do not immediately make the switch because of the learning curve involved. But if you have an proficient knowledge of web development in general the switch isn't that bad. The MVC part is a little bit of a learning process... but I've seen PHP file formats just as thought provoking... I mean consider WordPress! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ASP.NET solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well up until a few months ago I was a consultant... so just about any problem you could think of. I've recently took an offer from a manufacturing company and it all revolves around our product..

Benefits? Love the package manager! This of course isn't new as a .Net developer but when you bring that ease into Web Development it brings a whole new level of ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
