NYCPHP Meetup

[inforequest]

A good strong dose of skepticism is very healthy in this case.

 I use PHP because it is fast and stays close to the edge of development 
in the world of web apps including interfaces. AJAX is a buzzword... 
it's new, it's often flaky, and compared to total need for user 
intefaces it doesn't apply to the vast majority of cases.

That is not to say it isn't important. I'm just saying it isn't "the 
answer" yet, and it is very, very young. Sure any new Windows shell is 
important to all application developers, but not because of some hook 
between AJAX-y screens and PHP.

Of course this part is very funny (from that website):       
"evangelists are NOT marketing"

That statement caused me to choke on my probably-too-hot-to-be-drunk 
coffee. After all this is Vista promo week.. do we need to clutter up 
the PHP talk list too?
