ASP.NET

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.

Greetings Guys,

I want to develop an E-Commerce app and a web app.

For E-Commerce App ( Cross-Platform) - Thinking of React Native instead of Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform

For Web App - Thinking of ASP.NET Core

My thoughts -

a) ASP.NET is really good for a big enterprise-level application like Java. So it should be great for an eCommerce app website for large customers.

b) Since I don't want to develop two different apps for android and iOS, cross-platform will be good. Will save budget and time. React native is popular with its support and libraries. So it seems good.

(P.S. - I might be biased because I know ASP.NET. But will welcome your insightful Answer).

So Is it a good choice - for a web app and a mobile app? Let me know if you think I should use other stacks for mobile and web?

For Database, Is Microsoft SQL Server appropriate? Which database should I select - SQL database or NoSQL Database? Please provide another option apart from SQL Server.

(P.S - I know SQL Server is used for Big banking services. So it can handle a large number of transactions. If I am wrong, please correct me.)

Thank you in advance :)

Hi. We are planning to develop web, desktop, and mobile app for procurement, logistics, and contracts. Procure to Pay and Source to pay, spend management, supplier management, catalog management. ( similar to SAP Ariba, gap.com, coupa.com, ivalua.com vroozi.com, procurify.com

We got stuck when deciding which technology stack is good for the future. We look forward to your kind guidance that will help us.

We want to integrate with multiple databases with seamless bidirectional integration. What APIs and middleware available are best to achieve this? SAP HANA, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB...

ASP.NET / Node.js / Laravel. ......?

Please guide us

We are a small IT company that works mainly with ASP.NET and .NET Core; we are planning for a standard solution with the most important features of e-commerce, but with a fully customizable possibility. Even if there is no customizability, there should exist stable plugins for every added feature even if paid, like adding comments possibility for students...

The most important other thing is that we have solution based mainly on .NET in the backend and AngularJS or React in front, our choice should be based on the possibility of integration of the chosen e-commerce platform with our other software.

To resume, we need fully customizable features or existed stable plugins for a lot of features. We also want no problems in integrating two systems like the Appointment system and the e-commerce platform. Please help me. I'm new to this company, and I had them perform a study for different CMS solutions that exist and pre-built.

I want to build an application for my company, mostly focusing on sharing files within employees but in a more secure and controlled manner. Please suggest a data store that would suit my needs. I am a .NET developer and looking for developing a Website in ASP.NET.

Finding the most effective dev stack for a solo developer. Over the past year, I've been looking at many tech stacks that would be 'best' for me, as a solo, indie, developer to deliver a desktop app (Windows & Mac) plus mobile - iOS mainly. Initially, Xamarin started to stand-out. Using .NET Core as the run-time, Xamarin as the native API provider and Xamarin Forms for the UI seemed to solve all issues. But, the cracks soon started to appear. Xamarin Forms is mobile only; the Windows incarnation is different. There is no Mac UI solution (you have to code it natively in Mac OS Storyboard. I was also worried how Xamarin Forms , if I was to use it, was going to cope, in future, with Apple's new SwiftUI and Google's new Fuchsia.

This plethora of techs for the UI-layer made me reach for the safer waters of using Web-techs for the UI. Lovely! Consistency everywhere (well, mostly). But that consistency evaporates when platform issues are addressed. There are so many web frameworks!

But, I made a simple decision. It's just me...I am clever, but there is no army of coders here. And I have big plans for a business app. How could just 1 developer go-on to deploy a decent app to Windows, iPhone, iPad & Mac OS? I remembered earlier days when I've used Microsoft's ASP.NET to scaffold - generate - loads of Code for a web-app that I needed for several charities that I worked with. What 'generators' exist that do a lot of the platform-specific rubbish, allow the necessary customisation of such platform integration and provide a decent UI?

I've placed my colours to the Quasar Framework mast. Oh dear, that means Electron desktop apps doesn't it? Well, Ive had enough of loads of Developers saying that "the menus won't look native" or "it uses too much RAM" and so on. I've been using non-native UI-wrapped apps for ages - the date picker in Outlook on iOS is way better than the native date-picker and I'd been using it for years without getting hot under the collar about it. Developers do get so hung-up on things that busy Users hardly notice; don't you think?. As to the RAM usage issue; that's a bit true. But Users only really notice when an app uses so much RAM that the machine starts to page-out. Electron contributes towards that horizon but does not cause it. My Users will be business-users after all. Somewhat decent machines.

Looking forward to all that lovely Vue.js around my TypeScript and all those really, really, b e a u t I f u l UI controls of Quasar Framework . Still not sure that 1 dev can deliver all that... but I'm up for trying...

I found Heroku to be a great option to get ExpressJS up and running with very little hustle. The free tier is great, but I'd recommend to set up a cronjob to visit your site every few minutes so that the server stays awake. Netlify was the option to host the front-end because doing the server side rendering on #Heroku would have taken a little more time than I'd like to. For the moment pre-rendering the app with prerender-spa-plugin is enough to help with #seo. Puppeteer was my choice over other options because it made it easier to scrape websites made on ASP.NET which is what I needed in this case. And Vue.js is my top choice at the moment because it's really beginner friendly and it has a lot of the features I like about Angular 2 and React. vuex is a must in most of the app I build.
