Dear PHP fans,
Knowing large sites that use php is one thing (it shows the language can
support
heavy loads). But what I would really like to know is the time difference to
design,
code and implement web application in PHP versus java solution, or
ColdFusion,
or another language.
I switch to PHP because I love the language but mainly because I could
develop
application about 30% faster than ASP. (the language I used before)
The staff I hire can learn PHP and be very productive within a few days,
soory but I
can't say the same for other language...
