[Anthony Wlodarski]

This article was funny and yet sad...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ajax world popup that crashed my I.E. when I
clicked on 'close this window'.  When we were evaluating on how to build our
internal apps a big part of the decision came on how we would continue
support on the back end we decided to go against Java.  Working with Java
for web applications is like pulling a toe nail with a pair of pliers, not
fun stuff.  Setting up a prepackaged system in LAMP or using Xxamp depending
on your platform is much easier than getting an environment working for JSP
type pages.  Even compiling Apache/PHP/MySQL from source is easier than
working with Java web technologies.

My .02 on the matter.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Why do "cool kids" choose PHP to build websites
instead of Java

James Anderson writes (in his response to the article): The really 
simple answer is that after the release
of  php 5, php became the better language...
