[sclug] Was Any work going - now Why is ASP bad?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Just out of curiosity, why is ASP bad? I have always used php on linux (which 
is great!) or more recently java (which is ok). If people at work come to ask 
me to do stuff in asp, what wonderful excuses are there why it is a bad idea 
- besides the obvious issue of the crap platform it runs on.?

Cheers

Tim
