Well if you already work in ASP.net then it is obviously be more easy for you because there is no learning curve. Most new people just starting out with no formal programming background tend to go with the open source PHP instead of buying a bunch of software and books trying to tackle ASP.net.
Which is why PHP is easier. Anything.NET is going to be more expensive to use, take longer to learn, be less flexible and more subject to changing on you than any other language.
Just find a good tutorial on PHP, I recommend Lynda.com videos (random tutorials out on the net can cause you to create horrible code!). ASP.NET has so many framework tools but in my experience the tools don't create applications that you can customize easily so I prefer to just hand code with PHP.
HELLO PHP is easier than ASP.net if you compare both but ASP.net is interesting and it is advance than the PHP but if you know ASP then go for ASP.net because it has more scope and it good one.
ASP and PHP are both programming languages that are commonly used to create websites. Unlike the usual static html web pages, ASP and PHP websites are more dynamic and can allow users to interact and exchange information using the website's databases. There are a lot of differences between ASP and PHP. Cost - ASP programs need IIS installed on a Windows platform server, which is not free. PHP programs run on Linux, which is free. Even the connectivity of the database is expensive in the case of ASP as MS-SQL is a product of Microsoft that needs to be purchased. PHP generally uses MySQL, which is freely available. Speed - If we compare the speed of ASP and PHP then PHP has an upper hand. PHP code runs faster than ASP. ASP is built on COM based architecture, which is an overhead for the server.
PHP is definitely easier to use, but ASP.Net is a choice for people who've had past experience with C languages. If you decide to follow my advice I can recommend you check some example PHP snippets at my blog where I try to help the community and other new programmers in issues we often bump into while coding the "Hypertext Preprocessor" language.
I am biased as I have maybe 15 minutes of experience with ASP.NET but PHP was very straight forward for me to learn.
It depends on your background learning. For me php is hard to learn but really strong coding makes it more interesting as well.
Hi, PHP is very easy to learn & Scriptsdesk has the collections of php tutorials tips & programming books & resources.
PHP and ASP.NET both are use for developing websites.ASP.NET need IIS installed on a Windows platform server but PHP is an open source language as compare to ASP.NET.If you want to learn about PHP and ASP.NET many sites which provide proper data like W3Schools........etc
I have been working in both and I must say that for me, php is easier. asp.net is very complicated, but it is a little bit more advanced than php, but on php you can also do almost all the things you do on asp. net. So I think that php is far more easier than asp.net
All answer are positive to PHP. I am also software developer and work on asp.net technique. But I really want to learn PHP technique. Is PHP easier for me or nor?
Every language is easy because depend upon your background strong then choose the programming languages.
I must be honoust, and admitt that I've never used asp.net (Although I am a reasonable C# developer too). Still I think that php is more accessible. First of all because it's way more accessible (No investments needed), there is some awesome documentation (Php.net ftw), and there are loads and loads of tutorials on the internet. Second of all, php doesn't need 30 lines to define the program. Ones you know the php openingstag, and the echo function, you can write something. Everything you learn after that, can be used to extend the program. No trouble with namespaces, references etc. This is partly because php isn't a OOP based language. Still there is more than enough support for OOP when you continue to develop your skills. There is a reason that most websites use php instead of ASP.net
