I am a big open source person, php, perl, mysql, apache, etc.,. I have had the oppurtunity to work at companies who are narrow minded and let themselves be "talked" into technology. I also have had to oppurtunity to work with developers who were born and raised on the J2EE farm, and have never left that world of graphical point and click IDE's and SUN/IBM jargon and methodologys.
Unfortunately, more and more large companies are going the JAVA-AppServer route instead of Apache-Perl-PHP-et.al. route. There is alot of work for Java developers, some places you say PHP and the developers look at you funny... "Whats PHP?" they say. How do you do transactions? What about sessions objects? Jargon, blah blah, jargon blah blah.... In five years, I foresee almost all large companies completely abandoning things like perl and php. -john On Thu, 22 Jan 2004, Anthony Ettinger wrote: > > If PHP and Java/C++ are starting to become necessary > > auxilliary > > technologies, then I am in for sure trouble. > > I have focused on open source for the last 5 years: > perl, linux, apache, mysql, xml. > I have some php experience too, and am leaning toward > learning python over java or c/c++. > > Are you seeing more of a need for java, c, c++ in > addition to the skills I listed above? > > My main focus has been on web-based programming. > > ===== > Anthony Ettinger > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.apwebdesign.com > Instant Messengers: > 1) yahoo im: apwebdesign 2) aol im: apwebdesignxl > 3) msn im: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4) icq im: 659139 > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
