   You can get pretty far in the internet biz with no taste (MySpace... originally done in COLD FUSION). And don't forget those non-tasty table/tr/td non-div tags MySpace is also known for. ;) Anyway, I think you have a point. Thanks for yo

   I can tell ya that reading and understanding some of my own Perl from even 3 or 4 years ago is a real challenge. ;) All I can say is that I hope I'm getting better.

   Another PHP framework: Qcodo. Thanks. I think, maybe wishfully, that the product will need to scale which means bringing on other hackers to join.

   I appreciate the advice. You know, I sometimes feel as though I'm living under a rock. It pains me to expose my naiveté, but I never really heard of (even the word) Drupal until about a month ago and all of a sudden /bam/ I must've overhea

   If I go with PHP, Apache will be running non-threaded. To run Apache/PHP as lean as possible, I'll take advantage of thttpd's polling to quickly serve up any static content I have to as many simultaneous connections as possible. I haven't t

   Thanks for the advice. I've also been learning Lisp (sbcl) over the last six months and have tried out Hunchentoot with elephant, cl-who, and parenscript. I'd say one of the things keeping me from going with Lisp is the potential pool of de

   Single namespace in PHP - Ouch. You can gracefully get around this with classes perhaps? Any thoughts on PHP frameworks? On Python, I've heard that TurboGears is a pretty good framework as well. I remember reading somewhere that you don't

    I actually know Perl and Java pretty darn well. I wish to constantly expand my understanding of computing in general, and learning a new language is a great way to go. I hope to not only learn a new syntax or two but also learn to think in

    Should I read that as a little tongue-in-cheek? :) Everyone else has switched to PHP? Explain, please.

    I guess, for a lot of people, PHP would be easier to dive into than Python? I get your point; without any other knowledge, you'd be better off selecting from a pool of Python developers than PHP developers when looking for good hackers. Co

    Wow. Lots of questions. Thanks! On a plan to make the social aspect work, is there a finite list of ways to choose from? I don't believe there's really only one way. It definitely seems that "social networking" could have a negative eff

    Thus far, I've built very simple pieces of PHP such as logins, maintaining sessions, writing/reading to/from MySql. My one concern with PHP is the overwhelming "alphabet soup" of functions. I haven't done anything web-facing with Python ju

    I really would like to use PHP or Python in a big project to at least get some experience. I tell ya, I do love Perl. With limited exposure to PHP and Python, could you elaborate on some of the things PHP and Python are lacking compared to

    By more responsive, you mean from rendering the html/css/js sent back to the browser? Or more responsive when connecting to the back-end MySql database? If you could elaborate, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
