I'm interested too. I'll be in Manila for the holidays.

I'll send you an email.

There was a related thread a few weeks ago.

I'm not generalizing but I know a lot of people who hate/won't use .Net mainly because it is a Microsoft product.

What I believe is good with .Net is the 3rd-party support (free or commercial). The Visual Studio tool is also very easy to use and ramps up your development.

iamelgringo,

Have you tried Data Access Application Blocks? We use them and we only need 1 line of code to read the database.

SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(strConnTxt, CommandType.Text, strSql);

Alternatively, you can use SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset.

We also use Code Generation software that builds all the CRUD methods automatically.

On top of my head:

predictify.com

loopt.com

pickspal.com/pickspop.com

triphub

You can look at craigslist to get a feel of startups using .Net.

When you're browsing for titles, it would be nice to put page navigation links at the bottom too aside fromt he ones at the top.

mine is ubelt.com
