For the web developers out there I have a kind of side project going on that may require me to build out a member type dashboard, with functionality that includes logins, allowing people to create profiles, and some admin user management, and scheduling. Problem I'm having is picking a tech stack/ framework. I'm going to have to get this up fairly fast so something that allows me to not code everything from scratch is key.
-My first thought its to go C# asp.net MVC 5 but from a support standpoint I would love to avoid windows.
-Wordpress with something like genesis is another option I was considering since it would make the UI a breeze and has a ton of plugins for functionality but since I don't have a ton of experience with it I'm wary of heading down that road and being limited due to the nature of the framework.
-PHP? Does anyone still use codeigniter?
-Something new I haven't even thought of?
Main problem is from a web standpoint I've been working from within the same platform (MVC 4 C#, with a mysql backend and linux ingestors) forever so I'm stale on the advances of web development platforms over the last few years. I'm good with C#, javascript, jQuery, perl, and most things linux. I'm not afraid to delve in and learn something from scratch just worried I'm going to head down a path and they kick myself later due to limitations of what I pick or realized I overlooked something new I wasn't aware of. I have a clean slate to start this project so I want to get it off the right foot.
I guess the main question is what are people building web projects with these days. Thanks for the help.
