Thoughts on DotNet as only technology Stack for Startup and MVP?

ASP.NET development

The main concern is to find out the cost, scalability and performance. A highly experienced .Net developer generally recommends a caution to new startups that are considering using .Net. it is undoubtedly a fact that .Net is awesome, and many developers even use it for their own startup Hire.

However, there is one big landmine that could handicap your startup before it even gets going, that is webforms. Our .Net Application Development service provides all assistance towards latest technology and development.

1.    You must be aware that ASP.NET development is divided into 2 camps, and there are major architectural differences, and cultural differences between them. ASP.NET MVC is an awesome framework which is new and is heavily influenced by Rails and is the platform of choice for startups like StackExchange and intelligent skilled. .Net developers who like to actually ship software.

2.    This camp is deeply interesting in the craftsmanship of programming, and is likely to be familiar with lots of open source software, and is most likely good fit for your startup.

3.    The other camp is webForms, which is a festering bog of evil, spaghetti code, and hate. It is the domain of corporate developers who prize process and documentation over shipping code and hope that the glacial pace of WebForms development will hide the fact that they haven’t shipped a product in years and can’t tell the difference between an HTTP GET and an HTTP POST.

4.    So, .Net is simply awesome, C# is amazing, MVC3 is highly productive. If you ever find a .Net developer who works with those, you may stick to them for your work. But you have got to be careful. A WebForms developer with a corporate development background is most likely going to be death for your startup.

5.    You can use whatever makes you comfortable because the biggest problem you have isn’t going to be the technology, it is going to be actually building something people want. At this point in time, Microsoft is competitive on all levels vs .OSS.

6.    A biggest strength for going ‘all-in”, i.e. pure Microsoft, is the integration across all the involved problem layers. For many common problems as a solution may require only some clicks. If you go with Visual Studio as your development hub, you may find that starting to develop a service project using Azure, a database project, a web project etc. is made very easy.
