What are the advantages and disadvantages of using C# for web development?

I’m currently evaluating different programming languages and frameworks for a new web development project. C# has caught my eye, especially with its use in ASP.NET, but I’m still on the fence about it.

Could you all share your experiences on the advantages and disadvantages of using C# for web development? I’m interested in hearing about:

1. Performance: How does it compare to other languages like JavaScript or Python?
2. Ecosystem: Are there enough libraries and tools available?
3. Scalability: How well does it scale for large projects?
4. Learning Curve: Is it easy to pick up for someone with basic programming knowledge?
5. Community Support: Is there a strong community behind C# that can provide assistance?

Your insights would be invaluable to me, and likely others who are facing the same decision. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

There are 0 disadvantages generally.. maybe in some very specific niches. An abundance of learnning resources, extremely well supported. Anyone that says otherwise is misinformed

I would never use any Microsoft technology unless forced to. Windows hosting is usually more expensive. Open Source languages and frameworks usually have more libraries. You also have more choice, i.e. you can select a framework that exactly fits your needs.

Like I said misinformed .Net has been open source and cross platform for years.

There is no disadvantage in any of the things you mentioned. Use .net 6.0. You don't need a windows server and you can scale like others in deployment. Your code can be scalable and flexible, of course, you need to use certain patterns and software architectures. In short, you can learn C#.

There are no major disadvantages. You do not need to build or host on Windows as was mentioned. .NET web apps run on Linux without issue.

To answer your questions specifically:
1. Performance: For websites let's just say that the language/runtime performance itself won't be holding you back no matter what you choose.
2. Ecosystem: A large amount of open source packages are available. The 'standard' package manager is called NuGet and is likely already built into whatever you are writing code in.
3. Scalability: The tools are there. The language is not the bottleneck.
4. Learning Curve: It's fine.
5. Community Support: It has a huge community both online and offline.

i am also running asp.net c# website
i try to find any seo plugin from github but i cannot find
did you guys know any seo plugin of asp.net c# website ?

I have been on wes dev scene for quite some time. To be honest anyone using C# and asp is over 35 years old and that tech is not popular. Software development right now if it's front end it's React or Vue, forget angular and even thinking of C#. Also javascript MERN stack is the default tech even on jobs listed. Python and Rust are also contenders for juggling data on the backend. If anyone wants to argue I will share screenshots. This is from my head to yours. Don't hang on old tech.

There is no disadvantage, it's most secure website then php, because publish code is deployed rather source code however you require windows asp.net hosting server which support asp.net , Microsoft.net , sql server

Honestly, I've found C#'s ecosystem pretty solid, but debugging can sometimes be a real headache compared to working with JavaScript.

What about the number of job offers? How difficult will it be for a newcomer to this niche to get their first offer?

C# with ASP.NET is fast
scalable,
well-supported
and suitable for modern web development.

1. There is upgrade version or cross platform asp.net core + angular is great rather old version, the performance and runtime is fastest every then old version.
2. The Microsoft is already famous in its Ecosystem regarding large scale libraries including third party tools.
3. Mostly companies are found to adopt for large scale projects.
5. There is a lot of support material kept on official website of Microsoft, but there is also community available.
