The significant weaknesses of ASP.Net

ASP .Net is a flagship product from Microsoft to serve the web industry in an efficient manner. We can’t deny the importance of websites in our day-to-day life. Moreover devices like smart phones and tablets have increased the demand of web apps in the industry in a magical way. Understanding the situation, Microsoft has come up with its flagship web domain specific framework i.e., ASP .Net to withdraw the monopoly of the JSP from the industry. Fortunately it has gained tremendous popularity in the industry as expected; but nothing is perfect in this world and so the case for Microsoft’s ASP .Net. It has some shortcomings as well. Let us see what are the major shortcomings of ASP .Net?

ASP.Net Programmers
Getting started is a not that comfortable: There are many web domain specific technologies available in the industry like PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails and others. The biggest disadvantage of ASP .Net is its large volume. There are many modules, inbuilt functions, classes and libraries available within the framework. Hence it creates problem for beginners to learn all these components and to gain expertise in the same. On the contrary, technologies like ruby on rails and PHP etc are very much easy to learn and write new codes on the IDE.

Complex pages with performance issue: Since ASP .Net was born to challenge the monopoly of java JSP; hence it is obvious to find effective modules in ASP .Net to develop enterprise standard web applications. It is often used in developing large scale web applications just like JSP; but, heavy web pages that are developed in ASP, are usually slower. It takes more time to load in the browser; hence creating irritating experience for the end user. So, experts believe that heavy or complex pages developed in ASP are usually having some performance issues and they should be avoided.

Use of Postback is really tedious: While dealing with ASP .Net web forms, it is often a frustrating situation for the developers while transitioning from the front-end page to the back end page. This is because it loses the HTML contents during the transition in an ASP .Net application. Well an ASP .Net developer can avoid it by using post back calls. But at the end of day it will be considered as a major drawback of ASP .Net if an application is having a large number of AJAX calls or JSON calls.

ASP .Net applications creates testing problem: It is often complained by testers that they find it tedious while testing small modules of ASP .Net application. Testing methodologies like unit testing and integration testing are usually creates problem for ASP .Net applications under many circumstances.

Parallel development is a big challenge: Java is highly flexible and it provides best environment for parallel development process. On the other hand, it creates many difficulty situations for the ASP .Net developers while dealing with multiple instances like parallel development process. Though it can be avoided with some twists in the application development process but it is not the cup of tea for every .Net developer.
