What to explore this weekend?

Drupal, WPF, MooTools, PHP? The choices are paralysing.
All good choices but would depend on how much time you want to spend MooTools - fairly small learning curve can achieve self gratification in a short amount of time WPF - Steep learning curve but well worth the investment Drupal and PHP?? Your on your own Mike

I'm very much not, but it's not the learning curve that matters; it's the area under the curve.

By that I meant I had no idea as to learning curve, or area under :) Mike

Brady, if you are looking for PHP Video Tutorials from beginner upwards then visit Here[^]. Apparently there are 13 of them. And then http://www.killerphp.com/videos/[^] has a couple of dozen. But if you want "traditional" on-line tutorials then PHP 101[^] in 15 parts. If not looking for such, then sorry to trouble you.

The sooner you get comfortable with WPF's deficiencies, the sooner you'll be able to freely puke your guts out every time you have to work with it. Believe me - the first few times it happened to me, I tried real hard not to blow chunks all over my monitor, but I only managed to hurt myself in the process.

So you're confortable with it now. Aren't you? :confused:

Schweeet! Thank you Richard.

You mentioned "Drupal". For web hosted sites ??? if so, look here http://www.webhosting.uk.com/support.php[^]
Thank you Richard, but a job in Ireland would mean a lot more to me than business in the UK. Gimme a breeak, the O' Kelloghs been around a while. :laugh:

No, it is OK, up here in the 'world' :laugh: , we also say 'tap' for 'faucet'. It really is not that hard translating from 'English' to 'America'- at least on paper. A little harder in person. I work with a bunch of Indians (sub-continent), Vietnamese and Chinese (Mainland - Mandarin), and comms in just fine in IM or email. It is really hard to do face to face.

Have you thought about going into the Big Room instead? The big room is the extremely large room with the blue ceiling and intensely bright light (during the day) or black ceiling with lots of tiny night-lights (during the night) found outside all computer installations.

Drupal, WPF, MooTools, PHP? The choices are paralysing.
Personally, the best thing I've come across in a long time has been F# -- after over 20 years of professional programming, it's the first thing I've explored that changed how I think about programming. Plus it has a REPL built-in that not only makes testing .NET features super-fast, it removes the need to create a UI for the little helper tools we need to write from time-to-time -- just paste the function defs in and use them, which is extra good for data massaging. That $9 BILLION MS (I saw that figure years ago) has been spending on R&D has paid off at least once. Not coincidentally, the F# guys are the same guys that designed and impld the .NET 2.0 Generics, which is truly impressive, IHO. Peace be with us all.

Unfortunatelly spending time in the big room makes my home's food storage disappear.
