Good luck, man! Until recently(3-4 mths ago) I was on a 12 month slump of waiting tables. i got laid off prior to that. I got by, financially, just fine, but it sucks doing work you dislike. Although, I did have plenty of time to think about things, and met some really cool people. BW {insert witty/thought-provoking saying here}

NO VB!!! Just linux, Python, Apache, PHP, and some c/c++. I can dig that. Josh Knox that-guy.net
That isn't the dark side. That stuff is all fun. PHP is the best!(web-scripting language wise) Ryan Johnston

Actually the I haven't done any web development in a year. If I started into it again, I would probably check out asp.NET before I did anything else. A year ago though, I refused to even look at asp, because it was all written in VBscript (dirty nasty garbage). All the same, PHP is pretty cool. Ryan Johnston

The cool thing about ASP.NET is that it's language independent. You can use C#, VB.NET, J#, JScript.NET, or any other language that rests on the .NET platform. David Stone It seemed similar to someone saying, "Would you like to meet my knife collection?" Ryan Johnston on Elaine's sig

PHP for speed definitely, whether for linux, windows or whatever...but ASP if required for nt server or other servers if supported. I try to stay away from asp cause the speed and stability just isn't there. Apache all the way, IIS can stuff it...the security hole god of all servers heh. ColdFusion isn't a bad server though, that is for linux. It's unstable and a resource hog on nt...on linux it's almost 150% faster. As for the new .NET server, not running my server any time soon or ever. FreeBSD all the way :-D

ColdFusion as a language is pretty dirty though. I used it up through CF4. It's really tailored to rapid development, but for any kind of large project (and I have done a few using it) I found it to be pretty crapy (Do they have functions yet?). I can't argue that it isn't very very easy to use though. Ryan Johnston
