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.
