Hi All, I find myself wondering about the state of the PHP community (and related community with a PHP focus), so, here's a bunch of questions - feel free to answer none to all of them, on list or off, or add more of your own - this isn't for anything specific, just out of interest and sure I (and everybody who reads the replies) will learn something + doors/options/contacts may come of it. The only thing I can guarantee is that I'm genuinely interested in every reply and will read every one of them + lookup every tech and link mentioned. in no particular order: What other languages and web techs do you currently use other than PHP? - if you include html or css please include version, if js then preferred libs, and whether client or server side.

Classic ASP (ugh!)

I'll reply in full shortly when I get a chance, but for now - condolences, sincerely - and thanks to the nice dates we currently have I can say: "wow i remember using classic asp as my primary language a decade ago" or: "omg I wrote my first news admin system in classic asp at the turn of the century" or even: "omg I remember being stuck with classic asp in the last millenium"! In all seriousness though: 1: how'd you manage to get stuck on classic asp still? maintaining old systems that won't shift? 2: has it changed much, if any? (last i used was chillisoft on cobalt raq4's!) Best, Nathan
