Re: webcasting - php vs asp.net

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. I have no doubt that .net is superior in developing
great solution in short period of time. But I would like to know about it's
performance and value in developing multimedia solutions. Last time I check,
Win2003 server and SQL2005 still cost an arm and a leg for startups. I saw
many leading webcasting/multimedia sites are using php/apache.
Thanks.

.NET is free - PHP is free -your partner needs to be clearer about where
this cost inhibitor is unless he is alluding to using a LAMP architecture
over a licenced Microsoft one?

You will find an experience .NET developer can put together systems with
as.net 2.0 very fast and it will run and execute very fast. ASP.NET has
performance benefits over other script-based technologies like PHP and
ASP because the server-side code is compiled. You will hear a simlar
argument from PHP devs that they too can put systems together quickly -
my experience is that the .net developer will be faster and the code will
be more OO based, and event driven but then it all depends on what your
trying to create and how skilled your team is and if you have an
appropriate support team for your architecture choice, thats just my
opinion though.

Have a read of the info at wikipedia. Its a clear non nonsense
explanation of asp.net and some of its benefits over script based
languages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET

As to streaming, Microsoft provide windows media server out of the box
and there are lots of tutorials on usingit with asp.net (for example)
http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,1772060,00.asp

For Linux, take a look at some of the open source options such as mpeg4IP
http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/documentation/index.php

I need to develop a webcasting solution. (mostly realtime broadcast) I am
considering the apache/php vs iis/asp.net. I am a MSFT guy myself (vc++,
vb6,
asp.net) but new to multimedia(video streaming...etc). My partner likes
php
due to its cost. Any comments on their performance, scalability and
development time/support are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
