Hello, I just wanted to announce how great today has been. I have coded my
first ASP application ( i had little previous experience experimenting with
PHP and MySQL). I web enabled my LANTTU (Laboratorio ANalyysiTulosten
TUtkimisohjelma - Laboratory Analysis-study Program) program and it was so
goddamn nice and trivial that I can hardly believe it. I am totally on fire!

It seems like MS has been doing really awesome job with .NET IDEs like Visual
Studio 2005, it integrates PERFECTLY with IIS and development + deployment was
SO easy that it actually hurts to know how "difficult" it is with PHP (either
you edit locally with pico or shitlike that and press refresh or whatever, or
you have some scripts to do it - Atleast this was reality for me). It is not
impossible, but it is more difficult. And with .NET I had the advantage of
being able to use my native computer language, C#,  for it. All the familiar
API's and tools so basically it was just as simple as learning how to use
datagrid with objectdatasources and how to create datatable from Oracle, which
turned out to be pretty awesomely easy.
