The new PBW

[geoschmo]

I've been learning ASP.NET the last couple months and I'm actually rather encouraged by my progress. I actually think I may be able to take a crack at doing a new PBW site using it at some point. Doubtful that I could have it ready right when SE5 is realeased though. If there are some experienced ASP.net people around that I can bounce questions off of, that would be awesome.

Of course, I'm not the fastest person when it comes to these sorts of projects and I'm still quite newbish. And I've been carrying the torch now for several years. If someone feels the calling and thinks they can put something together faster or better then what I can do using some software they are more familier with, I'm all for it. I thought that was going to be Tesco, but if real life has taken over for him, I can understand.

Either way I'll probably keep plugging away on it myself, if only for the practice.

I've used ASP.NET before - ask away!

You'd be better off learning Python or PHP (particularly PHP5), I think. ASP.NET tends to be excessively verbose.

Verbose - Using or containing a great and usually an excessive number of words; wordy. See Synonyms at wordy

I got it up and running and verified it works. I haven't got the PBW stuff moved over to it yet.

I think you should program the new PBW with AJAX and Rounded Corners. I hear both of those programming languages are very popular these days.

It is written in Java Server Pages and uses Tomcat, IIRC.
