TECH STUFF

Never liked Java. its just the COBOL of today.

Love PHP productivity. Love the entirely javascript UI. Python maybe, for more algorithmic solutions. Php for data driven solutions.

If we weren’t so far along, I’d make the shift to from jQuery to ExtJS, and insulate Laravel entirely from the front end. And split the teams. Its too costly spread the UI, even with MVC architecture. Too unproductive.

Senscha renders horrid UI out of the box and jQuery is the toy if aesthetes, so it looks so much better.

But converting jQuery ideas to extJS implementations would be a better trade off at current tech levels.

Problem (opportunity) is that OO JS programmers are rare.

So, if anyone wants to know what skill is most valuable. I’m still in the JS camp.

Not sure about Objective C long term. Pattern says no.

But Java project experience is such a sorting and filtering mechanism I understand why its a good enterprise risk mitigation strategy.

But for my money, css/js/php | python/mysql is pretty hard to argue with.

And JS really is maturing nicely.

One more generation of the performance race and its looking pretty good.

Nothing terribly insightful. But what I’m not saying might be. 🙂

Cheers
