I need to upgrade an ecommerce site that serves a virtual company. It actually
does more than ecommerce. None of us are in the same community. We are spread
to the winds. So we rely on the web to make it happen. Our current solution
was written in PHP 4 by someone else. I upgrade it to PHP 5 about 4 years ago.
It is full of patches, some old code and some new. Part is MVC and other parts
have HTML and PHP mixed together with DB code. It is time to do a complete
makeover and add a ton of functionality. I've been looking at CodeIgniter for
the project. However Java has jumped up on my radar again. I say again,
because I have studied and played with Java multiple times over the past 10 or
12 years.
As I think about this, I think we can use Java to do the web app, and
potentially create a desktop app to allow the operations folks to have access
with an app that runs on their Win or MAC PC's. Potentially maybe even a smart
device app.
Any thoughts are always appreciated.

The question I have is what you are doing. If it is small with few hits and non
stateful data use PHP or even rails. If you are doing an massively scaled
ecommerce site then you use java. It is a matter of which does what better. As
for the individual thinking java was client side, I suggest that perhaps you
are thinking java script not java. Java is server side and processed tomcat or
jboss.
Personal I like java :)

Hi,
I am in the process of planning a web project. I'm thinking possibly using
Java. To this point I have done all my web projects using PHP. I know there
will be a learning curve.
My main question is the availability of Java programmers. It seems there is a
lot of PHP talent available for PHP projects. I like that there is a lot of
availability of PHP programmer because that makes my apps supportable if I move
on or am otherwise not available.
I have not met a lot of Java programmers, so I assume they are not available
the same way PHP programmers are. In other words I think I can visit Gang
Plank HQ and find a hand full of PHP programmers that I would fee good about
pulling into a project. I'm not sure I can say the same with Java programmers,
however I have not paid much attention when
it comes to Java programmers.
You thoughts are much appreciated!!
