0 Max Norris Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Bouncing between C# (ASP.Net and OWIN/Katana) and Python (Django and Tornado), depends on the task/environment, both do the job very well and give you different ways to go.. but if I had to pick a favorite, would have to say Python, go from nothing to working prototype very quickly. Learning Ruby is on the to-do list for the near future too, been curious to give Rails a spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 firey Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I used to do all my web with php. Though where I work now everything web is done with ASP with C# code-behind. Though lately I've been trying to add some more client side script with jQuery/Ajax then using bootstrap as the styling system. So effectively: ASP w/ C#, jQuery, and Bootstrap.

0 Guest Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 ASP.NET with C#, but I am a newbie. Have also used PHP, but it was bad compared to C# even though it was "easier" to get started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Depicus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 PHP is probably the fastest to get done but really don't mind anything that works. Sometimes I see code that is overly complicated for no apparent reason and it gives me a headache - looking at you dot.net. Recently been using Heroku and Dokku-Alt for hosting so PHP is about the only language I'm totally comfy with for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 pqt Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The one that I laugh the most at is D# (https://github.com/returnString/DogeSharp) I've set it up in my Visual Studio and definitely enjoyed every second on playing around with it. I prefer languages that write themselves, but since that's not something I've actually ever come across, I'll have to stick with PHP.

Though I believe PHP is a very good language I even use PHP for offline processes not just the web/crons...

I am a big fan of CoffeeScript but trying to relate issues thrown up by the JavaScript run-time back to the pre-compilation CoffeeScript is a major PITA. Actually not too bad We're using Webstorm 9 as our IDE and Jet Brains has an extension for Chrome which allows setting of breakpoints in the .js file and this breaks straight into the original typescript file for easy debugging (step through / step over / watches etc..) Or did you mean something else ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XerXis Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 .Net all the way, I can use php, java, ruby or python. But everything is just so much smoother when you use visual studio and one of the .net languages. Once you start using linq there is no way to go back to the kludgy systems of other languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
