NYCPHP Meetup

[Bruce Martin]

Hi, I just joined the list and thought I would introduce myself.

I have been programming since 1995, well before that if you include  
the years I spend toying with BASIC. I just recently started using  
PHP, I find it well thought out, although there are somethings that  
take some time to get use to, I guess the biggest is setting cookies.  
The challenge is due to the way I am using include and processing  
forms on a single page it takes me a while to find the place in the  
process to set the cookie. Other than that I am very pleased.

I come from a Mac background devoting many years to learning  
everything I can on the Mac, but I have programmed on the PC in VB 5  
and 6. and moved on before .NET. On the Mac side of things I mainly  
use SuperCard, I have tried other development environments including  
REALbasic, which I would say is a good alternative for X-platform  
development, but for pure Mac applications I lean on SuperCard. I also  
dabble in C and Objective-C from time to time, to extend the  
abilities, or make custom functions for SuperCard.

For web development I started using PERL, which I still like and use,  
but PHP may replace PERL for my web development efforts. I have also  
used JHTML and JSP. for a short time. I am also quite pleased with the  
way JavaScript has evolved.

I work for a web site called Beliefnet, which was recently acquired by  
FOX Digital Media.

Well, I guess that is enough for now, I look forward to getting in on  
the discussions.
