Looking for the right enviornment to develop in
-
Hello all, It's my first post so please forgive me if I am in the wrong forum. Starting one of those new projects and "we" have hit our first argument/wall. Do we develop the site using something like Perl / PHP vs. something DNN (Dot Net Nuke)? The site will have a bit of everything, blogs, e-commerce, etc. The whole shebang. I know what side I am on, but don't want to say why so as not to bias any answers. Really just looking for a couple honest opinions on both sides of the fence. Many thanks ahead of time, Sergio

DNN sucks donkey testicles. Find another route if possible.

DNN shouldn't even be a consideration. Real developers use C# and build it themselves ;P
only two letters away from being an asset

The question, as asked, doesn't really have an answer. Once you have defined what the site is going to be ("the whole shebang" is not really a definitive answer) and who it is going to be for, then you may find the answer staring you in the face. FWIW I don't regard either Perl/PHP or DNN as optimal choices for anything.

There are a few factors to consider. One is how much time do you want to spend. If you plan to develop all those features from scratch you will probably be looking at many months or even a year's worth of work. You can do everything you have said except for the "Shebang", with DNN in a matter of less that a day! The only real downside to DNN is there is a performance lag compared to a raw website. Much of those issues though can be optimized where they are not much of a problem. If you look at the DotNetNuke site itself, it is the test bed for new versions of DNN. It is fairly quick even thwen there are over a 1,000 users online. That is enough ability for many of the sites I build so no biggy. One of the best features of DNN is that you can build or modify sites right inside your browser. Just sign in as admin and start putting the site together. You can allow clients to edit thier own site to update content, which can be a big selling point for some. Anyway, I have used DNN for years and find it is worth the time to get comfortable with it.

In no particular order: It should be dark and quiet, without distractions. Each developer should be able to choose his own music to hear, yet not be subjected to the music of any others. There should be an ample supply of coffee at hand. Decaf should be available, but only for profiling purposes. Carpeting should be of the non-staticky type. There should be a library of reference books, with comfy chairs.
