Re: PHP Business Pack

ASP sucks, and it's owned. Plus you have to run it on NT, so you have to reboot your servers every month or so :) CFML is arcane, slow, expensive, and it looks like HTML. I my opinion it isn't actually a real programming language. JSP is solid, but that comes at a tremendous price: development headaches. I have been involved in projects that lagged because they used JSP. PHP Is the only full-on, open-source language for web development. I can send an e-mail to one of the authors about something, and actually get a response. This is not something I can do with any of those other crappy languages. > - PHP in a commercial enviroment Cost effective (duh, free) Rippin' fast. TONS of free software (and I'm about to make that even more true: binarycloud.com) That oh-so-groovy opensource spirit. If you make itm share it, and someone else will make it better. > - Scaleability So long as PHP is paired with an adequate DBMS (aka oracle), you can scale it with out a problem. > - Case Studies of existing solutions Shortly. > - Anything else anybody thinks is relavant It basically comes down to this: -PHP Compiles into the world's most popular webserver -It is fast as hell -It has a large, active developer community -It costs nothing -It is very easy to work with 'nuff said. :) -- Alex Black, Head Monkey enigma@turingstudio.com The Turing Studio, Inc. http://www.turingstudio.com vox+510.666.0074 fax+510.666.0093 Saul Zaentz Film Center 2600 Tenth St Suite 433 Berkeley, CA 94710-2522
