NYCPHP Meetup

[edward potter]

I take a more pragmatic approach.  
PHP 5  :  Wired . . . 
ASP :  BOOOORING . . . 

I think if you want to just get it done, you can do find no better
tool then PHP.  If you want to learn a new language, you can spend all
your time freed up by the PHP solution and explore Ruby, Python,
Swing, et al.

The ASP solutions (s) (in my limited experience) have about zero sex
appeal. However I'm sure if you put the time into it, you can build
some pretty good software using an all Windows based environment, if
that's your target.

I think Microsoft lucked out with the web.  But I don't see them
getting on to Web 2.0 any time soon. __ not in their corporate rule
book (at least not yet).

Just my 2 rupee's

-ed  :-)
