NYCPHP Meetup

This whole concept seems slashdot worthy - I added the article for 
review; let's see if they bite.  From the outside looking in, they 
attempt to make their case, but the examples are specious at best (as 
Gary so eloquently put below).  I'd have loved to see a PHP developer 
write one half of this article and an ASP.NET developer write the other 
half.  C'est la vie.
