Re: PHP as a strategic BUSINESS language

I believe that any programming language is what you make of it... if you use it to write games, it's a games language.... Write webapps for your business, it's a business language... And this is by far the best resource I have found for getting answers to questions about PHP... It's taken a completely newbie to PHP Programming, up to only a SOMEWHAT newbie in a very short time period. Anyway... Just My 2¢ :) On Jul 4, 2007, at 10:17 PM, Mark Allen wrote:

I had high hopes for it when I started down the path, and was glad to find this list thinking that it would be a great resource for using PHP to help solve BUSINESS issues but basically 80% of the questions have nothing to do with BUSINESS issues but "how do I do X" questions which IMO should NOT be necessary for a true BUSINESS programming language. Those that aren't in the 80% are "Tricks/hacks", something to show off and do not represent a solution to actually make PHP a language that can solve real world problems. I'll keep it in my toolbox for the simple, quick way to get something to the inter/intranet but other than that it's not ever going to be a major player in Real World business solutions. Good Lick ALL....
