Re: [CODE4LIB] newbie
As someone who uses PHP to do the small things I would recommend using Python or another language. I am trying to transition away from PHP to Python as it is not a panacea. PHP's great for web scripting but was never intended to do all of the duct taped projects that I have put together with it.

Yes, you can get a lot of stuff done with it, but I've had way too many incidents where newbie coders didn't check their inputs, and we've had to clean up after them. Another way of looking at this: part of learning a language is learning its vulnerabilities and how to deal with them. And how to avoid security holes in web code in general. -- Yitzchak Schaffer Systems Manager Touro College Libraries 33 West 23rd Street New York, NY 10010 Tel (212) 463-0400 x5230 Fax (212) 627-3197 Email yitzchak.schaf...@tourolib.org Access Problems?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Q: MARC formats in XML
Getting in touch with Nate Trail or Morgan Cundiff at LoC's MARC Standards Office (http://www.loc.gov/marc/ndmso.html) may be your best bet. The generic email for the office is nd...@loc.gov.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Payment for code4lib 2010?
I was only charged the $25 for the preconference but wish to attend the entire event. Should I also wait or reregister? On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 1:16 PM, Edward M.
