Re: ASP.NET vs Ruby on Rails
Having written tens of thousands of lines of code in ASP.NET for commercial sites (www.deltavacations.com, www.covacations.com among them) and being in the middle of writing a new site using RoR, I believe I can add some hard-earned comments to this discussion: ASP.NET is very powerful. The library is enormous and it has many enterprise-ready technologies built into it. The most important of these is transaction support. .NET 2.0 transaction support is even better with the lightweight transaction scope. This is perhaps the biggest gap in RoR's offering. That said, I disagree that ASP.NET is more productive than RoR. I have been FAR more productive with RoR after just a few months of learning Ruby and a few weeks of using RoR than I am with .NET even though I've been coding on the MS platform for 10 years, with half of that time spent almost exclusively working on web applications. It is true that ASP.NET provides some great controls (grids, etc) for web applications and 2.0 has even more (login view, for one). But what is doesn't provide out of the box is a true ORM layer (from Microsoft anyway). ActiveRecord is responsible for the great majority of the productivity on the Rails platform. If I never have to create another SqlConnection, SqlCommand, or SqlParameter object again, it will be too soon. Yes, I have rolled my own Data Access layer, but for goodness sakes, how many DALs have I built in the Windows world in the last 10 years?! Nhibernate is not fun either. Powerful as it may be, it moves the burden from C# code to xml configuration. If I were to consider an ORM tool for .NET, it would be LLBLGen. My second-favorite Rails feature is the architectual guidance that is built right into the framework. MVC clear as MVC can be, with directories built right there for you. Yes, ASP.NET is MVC also, but the PageConroller style generated in ASP.NET using Visual Studio is too weak for my taste. RoR encourages validation of business rules in the model, where it can be re-used effectively (read: where it belongs), whereas ASP.NET's validation controls seem to encourage developers to validate the rules in the UI. Surely, a case can be made for UI validation to avoid server roundtrips and workload, but I don't buy into it. My servers are running at 5% CPU utilization, and my developers are running at 105% utilization. Of course, I can build my own Enterprise Templates (a$$uming you have an Enterpri$e Ver$ion of Vi$ual $tudio) but Rails' approach of sensible defauls (and everything overridable) clearly wins out here. The net result is that I *don't need* an ultra-powerful IDE like VS to develop RoR apps. I do just fine with VIM, thank you. I may not have IntelliSense or Refactoring, but the time saved on DALs alone more than makes up for it, and, honestly, I refactor a lot less in Rails because everything is already in place. If someone told me I had to build a commercial ASP.NET application with VIM I'd tell them to go fly a kite. Furthermore, VS does a bunch of weird crap to make interoperability with Linux/Mono impossible (maybe a non-issue if you're a 'Microsoft shop'). VS.NET code-behind pages use different attributes which make building Visual Studio ASP.NET solutions on Linux with mono impossible. You could argue this is a Mono limitation, I suppose, but the point is you are pretty much locked in to the MS platform meaning Windows XP on the development desktop, Windows 2003 on the Server, Visual Studio, and MS SQl server. Add up the cost of that. Lastly, I'll mention the default ASP.NET push for people to use data structures such as DataReaders and DataSets. I don't care for them. I prefer a real domain model, for several reasons. First, it encourages *real* oo-style programming. Second, and most important, I am in control of my data structure's internals, not Microsoft. Ask any VB6/Windows DNA/ASP 3.0 developer how much fun he's having Interop'ing the old ADO Recordset object with his shiny, new ASP.NET code and he'll tell you he's ready to blow his brains out. I won't make that same mistake. I prefer a Hotel object to a HotelDS and an IDictionary to an SqlDataReader. That way when MS abandons the SqlDataReader I won't care. Having said all that, I do think the .NET platform is solid and enterprise-ready. C# is an enjoyable language to program in compared to C++, VB, and Java (all of which I have written production code with). Still, the dynamic power of Ruby and it's cavity-causing syntactic sugar like Enumerable#collect and Enumerable#partition is hard to overcome. Don't rule MS out, however. They're busy at work on a Python version for .NET (IronPython) and Don Box loves him some Ruby. I also believe MS has made great strides with .NET 2.0, especially wrt ASP.NET, but I think they have a long way to go to provide the kind of out-of-the-box, architecturally sound, and simple productiviy found in Rails. In contrast, most of the architectural guidance coming out of Redmond these days is constipated -- Enterprise Library, anyone? Again, nothing in ASP.NET prevents you from writing aesthetically beautiful and simple web application code, but the feeling I get from the default Visual Studio web project setup falls short or 'rails myapp'. In short, if you need transactional capabilities or need to integrate with some of the other enterprise features (message queueing), build with .NET and get yourself a good code-generation/ORM tool. If you're building your standard 3-tier web app, or have a tiny budget, I recommend giving Rails a serious look.
