I want to start working on a new website that will include Ecommerce functionality. I've never built such an application, but I am a rather experienced programmer in other fields. Before starting the process, I need to choose between two programming languages: PHP or .NET. I've been using PHP for years, now and am pleased. However, people I spoke to seem to recommend .Net for developing Ecommerce applications. Any thoughts on which language would work better for this specific purpose? Also, if anyone could recommend some tutorials, books or anything that will help me get a good understanding of the topic and developemnt strategies, I would greatly appreciate it.
Well, both are capable languages and I don't really see one being better than the other. I supposed that if you are more familiar with PHP, it is best to continue using it because that way you know its strength and its limitations.
