Microsoft for PHP programmers
It's no secret that Microsoft has ASP.NET technology (and adjacent ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET AJAX, AJAX Control Toolkit, etc.), which is the de facto standard for .net-centric developers. At the same time, the number of PHP developers is also large, so it would be strange to ignore such a large audience.
This article presents material that I hope will help PHP developers better integrate their applications with Microsoft technologies and products (if, of course, there is a need for this).
The first is to read the article “Migrating from PHP to ASP.NET” , which provides information on the comparison of architectures, features, syntax, common tasks and caching principles, as well as describes the next steps to explore the new platform.
The next step may be to study the “Learn ASP.NET: for PHP Developers” course from the free Rump Up! The course contains theoretical material, laboratory work and slidecasts:

Moving on and the next is the PHP for Microsoft AJAX Library project. This project contains a small number of PHP files with which you can work with the Microsoft AJAX library (which can be downloaded here ) in PHP applications. The following releases will contain localization and globalization, debug and release scripts and other library features.
In order to use Microsoft AJAX in PHP applications, you must perform the following steps:
