I have been assigned a task to develop a new web application. Its a kind of social web applications, for the sake of understanding you can say its similar to facebook. Now before start developing such huge application i have few questions to ask:

  • First, Does the tool and programing language affects the performance of web application?

e.g I made two web pages both have same contents over it, the only difference is that one page is made in ASP.net(with C#) and other is made in PHP, now which page opens more fast at user end? The only purpose of asking this question is that i want to choose one language which is more faster from end user prospective

  • Same is the case with database do i need to choose some specific database or i can use any database of my choice, currently i am considering:

1.MS SQL Server
2.MY SQL and
3.Postgres

There are a couple of topics that might provide you with an answer. You could also run some tests yourself. Doesn't see too hard to get some loops started and adding a timer to calculate the execution time ;-)
