Comments on my recent benchmarks.

Posted: 10 Aug 2009 04:33 PM PDT

Overall I've been pretty impressed with the reactions to my first round of PHP/Linux/Windows/ASP.NET performance tests. I'd like to comment of the comments   First, while I appreciate the enthusiasm of my .NET friends, the point of my exercise was to give me (and other folks at Microsoft) a starting place to understand some things about the performance of PHP on Windows and of ASP.NET. If your faith in ASP.NET is incrementally sustained by virtue of this data than I'm happy. If I didn't think that .NET was a as good as or better than any other technology for building web applications then I wouldn't be working here at Microsoft. But …..  It is incorrect and naïve to use this little bit of data to discount PHP out of hand. I have...(read more)

Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 21: Hierarchal Data

Would anyone be interested in a say 10 hour session at PDC2009 where we walk thought all of this stuff ;-). Anyway, in this section I want to take up a challenge that Ben Hayat sent me to show that Silverlight and RIA Services are really capable of building real business applications. That was too good bait for me to pass up. Apparently real business applications include more than one table , and even more than simple master details . But they also include hierarchal data. For example you have an Orders table that has an associated set of line items in a separate LineItems table, but the Orders keeps track of total sales, net, tax...(read more)
