C# all the way.
most of what I do are line of business web apps with html/JavaScript on the client, SQL on the back end, and c# as the go between AJAX and api layer.
I have used PHP, cold fusion, vb, c++, ASP and Java. I still find c# to be one of the most versatile and having about the best performance I have seen with a managed framework language.
I have experience with ColdFusion and PHP for web markup and I used to program microcontrollers in C. Alas, I don't use any of them enough and always find myself rusty.
I haven't experimented with ColdFusion as of yet. But I'll give it a try. How do you like it. And what is its strength?
Cool. What is VP?
Its strength is that it is much faster and easier to develop a dynamic website than with PHP. The code is more efficient and cleaner, imo.
The reason its much less popular is the expense. ColdFusion is an Adobe product, and a server license isn't cheap.
I enjoyed learning C in school and use MatLab quite a lot for experimental modeling of lab results and stuff like that. Im in chemical engineering for those who are curious haha. It's fun though
