When it comes to web development....

In your opinion, are folks more interested in a LAMP/WAMP based solution, or Asp/.NET solution?

Budget solutions = budget tools. Enterprise solutions = enterprise tools.

You would think folks would go for funtionality and security

LMAO :roll: you obviously haven't worked in this business long

As a developer I prefer using .NET these days, having come from a LAMP background originally.

my .02.

.NET is great on the angle of often tying in nicely with the other Windows-based elements in a company's workplace infrastructure.

.NET actually provides that, as well as an excellent OO-based library. With good talent behind the scenes, enterprise applications can be written and deployed quickly while keeping maintenance efforts reasonable.

I'm a big open source fan, but it isn't the final answer for everything. MySQL falls apart with huge databases and regular Microsoft users don't understand how to run Linux stuff. Plop an Access backend server in and all of a sudden, "hey, I know how to use that!"

Yup, exactly. imo Microsoft stuff takes more work to keep up maintenance-wise, but the payoff is universal usability. I still prefer to use LAMP-type stuff when I can, but it all depends on the situation. Security is really only as good as the person running it. You're just as prone to getting hacked if you don't keep your Linux server patched as you are if you don't keep your Windows servers updated (although MS stuff does get hit harder as far as cracking and whatnot goes).

I did not claim otherwise.

I did not specify what I considered functional and secure. When I read "Budget Solutions = Budget Tools, Enterprise solutions = enterprise tools", first thought that came through my mind was "that's not quite the way to think about things".

When it comes to Web Dev, I suck. However, I'm expected to redesign my company's site in the next couple of years. I'm screwed.

Define "folks". If you mean average people trying to get into web development, I think the answer is LAMP. If you mean companies who are trying to build an enterprise application, I guess .net, although I think J2EE is as popular or more popular.

Just as an FYI, mysql is not the only database backend out there. I rather use PostgreSQL over mysql (for several reasons). "Microsoft users don't understand how to run Linux stuff". Shouldn't you rather be saying "Many Microsoft users aren't interested in learning how to run Linux stuff". I started off as a Microsoft user, and expanded my horizons running Unix based applications. It's really not that complex. I've got more experience in the Windows environment then Linux.

Which solution would I recommend to people? Depends on their needs.

I know, but it's the most popular one for open source apps. I too prefer PostgreSQL to MySQL. And yes, what I mean by "many MS users don't understand how to run Linux stuff" is "many MS users aren't interested in learning how to run Linux stuff." I was just referring to regular, non-IT or very light IT office workers; I should have been more specific. I too started out as a Microsoft user and worked my way into Unix. Most office workers see code and freak, but if you show them Office - Excel, Access, etc. - it's usually less stress 😉

Yup! 🙂
