Hi, I was wondering if anyone had started their own company out there recently, and how are they getting on? I have, and things are going quite OK although I wouldn't like to be employing anyone at the moment! I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder

I think a good definition would be ... anyone who spends time wondering how to define a geek ....:-D I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

Hi, A good book to get started on STL (and general C++ too) is "Practical C++", published by QUE and written by Rob McGregor. Even I could follow it and write programs in it. Actually STL is not bad at all - the MS docs ARE rubbish. I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

Phpbuilder gets thousands and thousands of hits a day too ... I don't know the exact number but look at the number of posts to their forum on Coding Help alone for 2001: Week 4 (1637 msgs) August Week 1 (929 msgs) Week 2 (1060 msgs) Week 3 (1216 msgs) Week 4 (1629 msgs) September Week 1 (977 msgs) Week 2 (867 msgs) Week 3 (883 msgs) Week 4 (834 msgs) Try the link http://www.phpbuilder.net/forum/read.php3?num=2&id=151581&loc=0&thread=134714 for a forum layout similar to CodeProject. Don't get me wrong - I am not criticizing CodeProject, I think it's an excellent well-designed site, and I use it all the time when I'm windows programming, but phpbuilder.net is equally good, and I have to admit, faster. In fact I challenge you to find a site running on asp that is faster than php performing the same function with a similar number of hits (I know, too many variables, but still I make the challenge). I for one have yet to see it. :-D I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

Thanks Paul!;) By the way if this site was run on Apache + php with a MySQL back end instead of ASP on (I guess) NT/2000 + IIS it would be a hell of a lot faster. Try www.phpbuilder.net for a comparison. Bob I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

That's correct as "United Kingdom" and "Republic of Ireland" are the only two fully independent entities. I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

I doubt very much if the opensource community paid for it !! I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

I spent a lot longer reading manuals to set virtual hosts and firewalling with IIS than with Apache; it's all in one .ini file there plainly labelled with examples. I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...

I seem to be the only person here who has experience of both IIS and Apache. I started with IIS and then our company moved to Apache. Here's my experience * Apache is easier to use * Apache is more flexible * Apache is more transparent; IIS hides "complexity" behind it's GUI; people at this level shouldn't need a GUI. Try writing MFC/C++ type software with a GUI only. * Apache viruses/holes etc. are reported very quickly and patches are distributed quickly. To the guy who says big companies cant afford updating once a month, they should be looking at once a week or less to be in any sense secure. * Apache's performance is much better than IIS. * Apache is virtually FREE :). * Apache is better in every way I have seen (and I'm NOT a Linux freak !) In short, I know it's a pain to switch, but it's worth it. I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonderI wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why I wonder ...
