ASP vs PHP compiliation

Question

I am starting a major project and will be hiring developers soon. Right now im trying to decide between ASP.net and PHP and leaning strongly towards asp as most of the desktop apps will be written in C#

About 50% of this project will be coded into a web system. My question is about how i could secure the code. Does php or asp offer any form of compilation that will not reveal the default source code?

Answer 1

On a properly secured server, neither will reveal their source code. You should let the programmers have a big say in choosing the tech. No offense, but you are not qualified to make that choice alone.

The biggest issue will be how skilled your team is. If you hire a bunch of .net guys and expect them to code PHP you will have a poorly working site, and visa-versa.

You should hire some developers or at least your lead developer and talk with her about it.

Since you will be having desktop apps .net seems the logical choice, but there are other issues specific to your business/application you have not considered.
