Chris Blown: October 2007 Archives

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard last night. Some cool stuff in this release; some other things not so cool.

Came across an interesting blog post by Mark Figley on PHP and Java - Best of Both Worlds? I see an awful lot of sense to this relationship and I am excited about the potential of scripting languages running inside the JVM. IBMs Project Zero and QEDWiki application are strong indicators that Big Blue are taking PHP seriously. Systems like the Zend Framework are even more reasons to consider PHP for rapid development. So with pure Java implementations of PHP like Quercus we can only expect PHP to shine even brighter. Best of both worlds? Damn close..
