are asp.net and webforms dead?

Posted by jonathan - 04/12/07 at 07:12:17 am

I have been struggling to convince my fellow php and java developers of the advantages asp.net. asp.net brought a lot to the table by applying oop to the presentation layer, abstracting html inconsistencies and using object style notation for controls, textbox.text= rather than request.form[”textbox”]. All these things were great in 2002 and seemed much better than the

< %=%> hell we had before. Oh but times have changed. With RIA and AJAX pushing client expectations, the kiddies pushing css like crack in the late 80s and the resurgance in javascript as cross-browser-issue-killer libraries have sprouted up like kudzu in Georgia, is asp.net, webforms and the PageController model dead?
