NYCPHP Meetup

[Brian D.]

Good read, and I appreciate the post. However, I had one semantic
issue that bugs me here:

"Much of the Web has traditionally been created using dynamic
languages, from Ajax on the client to server code written in PHP,
Perl, Python and Ruby."

AJAX is not a "language"! Grrr. Of course this is Lam, who works at
Microsoft, so you have to forgive him I suppose.

I've definitely seen Javascript rise in prominence of what I do on a
daily basis. It's starting to take up more and more of my time as
clients go from wanting back-end functionality to matching front-end
wizardry.
