Oracle recently published an outrageous article in a rather strange attempt to convince people that PHP is the best platform to write web applications. Not ASP.NET, which is not surprising coming from Oracle, but not Java either, which is a little more puzzling.
In this blog entry, I'm explaining what I thought when I read this paper. The disclaimer on the left applies, of course: these are my own opinions, and I'm not talking on behalf of my employer.
This article is completely unreal. Arguing that PHP is preferrable to ASP.NET is a very difficult exercise. I can imagine the marketing people at Oracle ordering this article and determining its conclusions even before it was written... It is even touching to see that the author can't hide all of the ASP.NET qualities nor all the problems of PHP.
Let's read the article together and comment it along the way.

The rebuttal is brilliant and it's funny to me that even PHP advocates wonder what the real deal is here ... it truly sounds like Oracle is trying to throw FUD onto asp.net with PHP. 90% of the "facts" in the original article are rediculous.

The Oracle article was one of the most poorly written advocacy pieces I've seen in years.
He didn't even try to defend his points, he just made statements like ASP sux! PHP rulez!
