i know nothing about coding, but when i read that line, i knew a train wreck was in progress.
I honestly don't give a fuck enough to get into a back-and-forth though.
Alright, then Mr. Hot Shot. Prove yourself. Provide us some code, or an online app that you've developed, and let us pick it apart.
You talk a big game, so prove it.
Better yet, let's go head to head.
Others in this thread can decide on the what the app does and we both have 24 hours to build it.
Or are you going to tell me your time to too valuable or some other bullshit excuse?
I was the only person to put up something that could actually be sent to a client.
You put up some front-end parallax shit, that didn't have any back-end, etc.
But sure, if you want, let's do it up again. Give me about 72 hours to start though, because that'll be the start of my long deserved vacation. This time around though, my design will actually look good though, as theme implmentation is done now.
Anyone have suggestions for the app or want in on this pissing contest?
And that is why you're a walking joke.
You run your mouth, get called on it, then slink away claiming you can't be fucked.
And the times you do attempt to defend your argument, all you end up proving is you're congealed failure.
You, I and every other developer on WF knows the only way you make money is by selling shit code to people who don't know any better.
Feel free to post butthurt gifs though, since that is pretty much the only thing of value you contribute to WF and the world in general.
Word of advice, you should refrain from talking about enterprise systems since the only role you have in building an enterprise system is getting the fucking coffee.
Just my personal opinion (which is like an asshole, we all have one).
ASP.net -- I would run like hell from it. I didn't even now people still use it. If you're going in web devel though, probably one of the worst choices for a language.
I'll unfortunately have to totally disagree with acidie above. Speed doesn't matter so much. Neither does your ability to type code. What matters is your creativity, problem solving ability, and your capability to turn client's visions into realistic, usable online apps. Anyone can learn to type code, but being able to take say a 12 page set of specs, and turn it into a professional app that can be used across an organization with ease is what you're going to get paid for.
There's a huge difference between someone who can code up a little WP plugin, or hack together a Python script to do this or that, versus someone who can organize and put together an enterprise level system, while also helping consult and contribute ideas to process / user flow, etc. If you want high paying gigs, you're going to need to be capable of the latter.
No, being able to build web apps (the language doesn't matter) is not specialization.
I can go on oDesk right now and find 400 people in Bangladesh willing to work for $2 and hour that will build me a web app.
Will it work? Yer.
Will it be optimized? Nope.
Will it scale? Bahahahahahaha.
The only thing that counts now with web apps is speed.
Let me repeat that, the only thing that counts is speed!
How many requests can I serve and how fast can I do it.
If you want to specialize in building web apps, focus on how well you can optimize the app.
Anyone can build a web app, but very few take the time to learn how to optimize them.
There are edge cases where knowing C or ASM is an advantage when building web apps.
For example, Real Time Bidding (RTB) when the server has to respond in less than 100ms.
But generally the speed benefits of a web app written entirely in C or ASM are outweighed by time it takes to write them.
Are you talking about ASP.NET Forms or ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET WebAPI?
You know C# and Java are strongly typed right?
There are a million reasons never to use PHP for anything, but I concede this is one main ones.
The other is lack of threads... queue a million Indian's tears of pain.
Tell that to a user waiting 12 minutes for that SQL query to return.
Because you'll need to be a fucking expert in deflecting blame, I mean "consult and contribute ideas" when the PM asks why the app crashes after running a single query.
Ok so lets say specialization in asp.net mvc is no speciality. Do you feel anything under asp.net mvc is a spciality? like razor, web service, something that actually requires some coding and development.
ASP.NET Forms is dead (thank god).
ASP.NET Razor is dead (meh).
These things exist in legacy but apart from that no one cares.
The only thing that matters when it comes to ASP.NET is the WebAPI and that has bee completely rewritten for ASP.NET 5 to be more like Node.js (sweet).
Frontend is all Angular or Ember and that has no relation to the backend.
If you're going to specialize, focus on one stack and do that well.
But it depends on who you are going to be working for and what you're going to be building.
No one can tell you what is the "best" because no one knows what you're going to be doing.
asp.net mvc still has a strong hold and still growing maybe?
r u sure razor is dead?
Does c# have a major role in asp.net?
So the stack would look like C#/SQL server, ASP.Net MVC + Web Api,EF, Javascript, Angular.
asp.net vNext seems to be getting more open source and integrating node.js features and flexible without IIS.
The problem with full stack asp.net is that its too huge n complex. And there doesnt seem any specific area in it to specialize in.
If you want to sit in a cubicle 9-5 banging out code for $40k/year, then yeah, ASP.net would probably be a good route to take.
Look around at the millions of dev projects out there though. None of them are done in ASP.net, and there's a reason for that. If you're really stuck on a language to learn, go with Python. It's a very versatile language, and extremely popular, so it's tough to go wrong with.

It's very strong and getting stronger. If you learn ASP.NET you wont have trouble getting work.
do you mean freelance asp.net developers or small asp.net dev shops have problems getting work?
