Thinking Outloud

I’ve been a diehard Java guy since servlets first hit the scene. I’ve worked with just about every framework, or at least researched it, built all kinds of fun and not so fun applications. In short, I really like working in Java. I’ve dabbled in PHP, but mostly just modifying a wordpress plugin, or creating some simple trivial thing. Until recently.

I bought a PHP package that is used to build eBay affiliate stores. It worked OK. Then I took a look at the code and I really see why most software developers put down PHP. It isn’t quite so much the language, but the vast majority of apps out there are garbage code wise. So I decided to build my own and I decided on CodeIgnitor for my framework.

Well, through this experience I’ve learned that PHP isn’t so bad. There are some features that I actually like and I plan on building some more sites with it.

So, now can we all say it together?

PHP isn’t bad, really!

No? Oh well, one step at a time yea?
