Hello everyone ,

I would very interested to explore the threads inside this forum for my knowledge. I'm not a webmaster but a student who studying and learning the web technologies. My interest are more on 3 tier architecture and software components. I've learn that .NET was the hottest web framework currently in malaysia (correct me if i'm wrong). I hope I can learn a lot more about this technology from those experts in this forum.

But PHP is still the most popular language for server side programming, and the now the early adopters prefer Ruby on Rails.

.net is NOT a web framework; Asp.net is. Things that relate to 3 tier architecture are what we call 'web application framework' from Jakarta Strut to Ruby on Rails. If you like .net than you may want to look at DotNetNuke > Home ( DNN 4.3.7 ).

However there is another beast what we call 'content management system' or cms that sit on top of a web application framework like drupal.org | Community plumbing.

.net: Don't loose it. Can thousands of highly paid engineers at Microsoft be simply wrong?

How about the client server application such as intranet?. Can we clasify this as 'web application framework'?

Web application framework is actually a 'strategy' to build a web based application. Like to build a house; First you have to make sure the location is correct where it should be near to a main road, water supply, electricity, grocery stores, the internet, etc. Second you have to make sure that there are enough skill labors to build the house. Third, it must be politically correct for you to build the house there. And fourth, you must have a visually agreed design. So for software is for you to have the correct technology, skill, vision and design.

What ever you build for the Internet can be made 'intranet' just by cutting the wire that link it to the whole world. Should I suggest don't output 'Hello World!' from your first intranet application?
