Hello everyone, I want to have a project developed similar to the PCPartPicker Website. Various technologies were proposed to me, like WordPress, Laravel, ASP.NET, etc.

Since I don't have the knowledge to evaluate this choice correctly, and since it is fundamental to the success of the project, I wanted to know the community's opinion on the matter.

Obviously, the developers promote the one they know best or which suits them best, so I would need an 'independent' opinion about which one you think would be the best option possibly also considering development costs.

Thank you for your help.

I am looking for a new framework to learn and achieve more efficient development. I come mainly from Laravel, which greatly simplifies development, but is somewhat slow for the volumes of data that I usually handle (although very stable) and it falls far behind in terms of simultaneous connections.

I'm looking for something that responds well to high concurrency, adapts well to server resources (cores) without the need to be concerned about consciously multi-threading or similar things, has a good ORM and friendly integration with PostgreSQL, request validation, And of course, it is scalable.

The main use would be for API development and behind the scenes processing of large volumes of data (50M on average, although this goes hand in hand with the database and server capacity)..

The last framework I would include but couldn't is ASP.NET MVC.

I am about to complete my graduation with a computer science background. I want to pursue my career in software development. My front-end knowledge is very poor. I didn't like PHP so I didn't go for Laravel. My university offers a course on ASP.NET, I liked C# that's why I took asp.net. But now I think .net tech is unnecessarily complicated and most of the job offers available for .net are not for freshers. Should I try js and Node.js now? I mean as a fresher which tech stack should I choose for web development(Backend)?

Hello everyone, I'm in my last year at college and I've been self-studying web development for maybe a year. I learned Html, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript, and jQuery basics, then I started to learn ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core 3 bc this is what I really care about (backend development). I watched many tutorials and I built some small projects on my own but I know this is not just it to get a good job.. so I'm stuck now.. what should I do in the upcoming months till I graduate? I don't know how to work with a team or to work on a separate part of a big real project, deployment, and testing, and so on.. when to tell I'm ready to do interviews and get a good job?

Hi, I am a professional accountant, not a computer programmer but I know programming concept and love it, in past have learned VB.Net in the year 2008. I want to use my accounting experience in programming by developing Web-Based ERP/Accounting Software integrated with to eCommerce platform. I want to develop ERP and eCommerce for a particular industry which can be used by 100+ companies. I am not very sure which programming language and framework I should use for the project. I found that Python-Django is the most powerful platform/framework to build any kind of application. Sometimes I am thinking about ASP.NET because I have learned little .Net concept. Now I want to invest my time and money in something which is very robust and helps to develop my project. So, I am very much confused between ASP.Net or Django. Please could anybody advise me which framework would be ideally good to develop this project which will carry for coming many years... Many thanks for your suggestions and advice.
