NYCPHP Meetup

[Morgan Craft]

I've never thought java was anymore difficult than php.  In fact JAVA 
was the first programming language I learned in college in my 
introductory computer sciences courses before moving on to C.  I picked 
up PHP because it seemed like a simple and fast web development language 
that gave me the flexibility to communicate with MySQL and Flash 
Actionscript.

And JAVA and Javascript are nothing alike.  Javascript was made by 
someone at Netscape, not Sun.  And it wasn't even called Javascript at 
first.  Bleh, I could go on and on about the difference but I have work 
to do.

I do enjoy the irony. Randal makes a jest about people not understanding 
the difference between Javascript/java and someone had to illustrate the 
point for us.  *bravo*
