Hi all,
Been kinda quiet on this list lately - is everyone still out there?
I am starting to write a program for a client of mine. They want to be
able to configure options, etc. for catering events (i.e. linens, bar,
venue, etc.) Each option has a different effect on the price. Any ideas
as to what language to use? I know Perl but is that the best option?
Java? Something else?
PHP's fairly easy to pick up if you know Perl/C style syntax, it
integrates really well with MySQL and Postgres Databases too.
Check out the following sites:
www.php.net
www.devshed.com
www.mysql.org
There's loads of others out there for tutorials etc, and if you're after
a book, Jono Bacon (http://www.jonobacon.org/) has written a book at
looks excellent and is available from Amazon
(http://www.amazon.com/Practical-PHP-MySQL-Building-Applications/dp/0132239973/sr=8-1/qid=1172003393/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-0460266-2933241?ie=UTF8&s=books)
HTH,
Matt
And even I have been able to understand and
learn some php/mysql, so it must be fairly easy.
