Hi -I am a .NET developer and my employer asked me to work on WordPress blogs that require little to none PHP skills.

I explained my employer that .NET is a much complex framework than a simple language such as PHP. In addition, Microsoft launches new technologies, new product versions, new best practices, etc. in a very regular basis, making it tough to compete in the job market. That is -everytime I am working on a WordPress blog, I am missing the opportunity to cope with the latest Microsoft releases, and eventually losing value in the job market.

This is only my personal opinion based on what I read about PHP and other LAMP technologies. What do you think? Am I wrong? Could you point me to facts or articles that talk further about this? Thank you.
