From: Rod-Lists ------------------------------------------------------ Guy tried to join a fast prototype session and was told he couldn't do it in Drupal. So he sat in the audience and did anyway. The link has a screencapture. http://benbuckman.net/tech/11/02/drupal-application-framework-bostonphp-competition Of course this is all on linux. "One irony of the framework-vs-CMS argument is that what makes these frameworks appealing is precisely the automated helpers - be it scaffolding in Symfony, baking in CakePHP, raking in Rails, etc - that all reduce the need for wheel-reinventing manual coding. After the tools do their thing, the frameworks require code, and Drupal requires (at the basic level) visual component building (followed, of course, by code as the app gets more custom/complex). Why is one approach more "framework"-y or app-y than the other? If I build a complex app in Drupal, and my time spent writing custom code outweighs the UI work (as it usually does), does that change the nature of the framework?" ..more..

From: Mike Harrison ------------------------------------------------------ Jason, A long long time ago, in a text editor far far away.. You introduced me to a tool that would look at a directory full of PHP code and produce a nice html-ish output of what was where, how it all related, etc.. Lisa is in my office and asked me for the same thing. and I must confess, I do not remember what it was and have not used it in a long long time and no longer have it installed. But the force seeks that program again, so that it can do good on bad code. Not mine. this time. ..more..

From: Matt Keys ------------------------------------------------------ I'm more interested in practical application than I am a cert. If you're serious about being a mentor/teacher please let me know. I'd love to become fluent in python or perl to expand my skillset for support of cloud services/infrastructure/sysadmin sectors. From what I've seen and read about products I'm interested in python looks to be more widely used. I'm leaning towards it because of that and it seems to be easier to learn. I'm just not sure how valid that thought process is though as I'm usually consuming/troubleshooting rather than developing/customizing.
