Though I have worked with Microsoft .NET since 2001, the more recent additions to the ASP.NET development paradigm such as MVC and a host of JavaScript, CSS libraries and frameworks appear to be bludgeoning the original concept to death.
I still work strictly in ASP.WEB WebForms because I find the paradigm straight-forward with good performance even for complex, database projects. However, I spend most of my time with WPF as it is a much more stable environment than web development.
I have worked with MVC on a very complex and large project a few years ago and found the excessive detail to be hindrance to productivity. However, the project from a technical standpoint was quite successful.
The original ASP.NET WebForms, in my view, is the best approach to web development that I have seen and still remains a very strong, mature solution to practically all web application requirements.
That being said, ASP.NET WebForms is definitely not "cool" and has little to offer in terms of the radical and low-level approaches that the newer web development paradigms are currently offering.
If you have been working with PHP than you are already used to working in an environment that is quite similar to "Classic ASP". As a result, you shouldn't have that much difficulty in coming up to speed with with ASP.NET MVC.
As it regards the future of ASP.NET, for now MVC is the preponderant paradigm being used by most .NET developers. However, software paradigms go in cycles every 5 to 10 years. We are now in the 6th year of ASP.NET MVC and there are already symptoms of the pendulum swinging back to ASP.NET WebForms as increasingly more and more features are being added to the MVC side of things including some that appear to be somewhat similar to ASP.NET's server controls.
For now stick with the MVC route but keep an eye on WebForms. After 42 years in the corporate environments I have seen it all and MVC is simply too complex to produce good work in complex environments since it only adds to the complexities already involved. As a result, I suspect that many developers will eventually tire of having to learn so many different technologies that support MVC as new tools appear to be surfacing on a near daily basis making a confused landscape even more confusing...

I do believe .net has a bright future especially once asp core becomes mainstream.

Hi All,
Remember a little while ago someone (chrisel?) Posted a message called 'take my money now'
Well here is a link to it CERATECH - ZX SPECTRUM - THE RECREATED SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM | CPC UK[^] Oh boy! I can see the square eyes now I am thinking about getting one, however I still have a hacked together original that works if I can find a TV with a UHF in.

Whilst searching for a MIDI to game port cable the other day, I came across my old TI-99/4a and briefly thought how cool it would be to see if it still works, then realized I'd have to find a UHF/coax adapter and dismissed it.

Like this?[^]
That site has a lot of cool stuff.
Mouser.com has a bunch of related things as well.

I believe this was the link[^]that was spread here on CP last year.
I've kept the link cause I want one. Just gotta go get it.

No - the sun rises in the East, so it becomes oestrogen.
And yes, that is the correct spelling. The version without the leading "o" is the English (Simplified) spelling.

I take it the tweet sent last week that basically said the above was something to do with you?

Nope, I don't have a twitter or facebook account, because wholeheartedly believe your quote.
