[DUG] Web development

[Rohit Gupta]

I have been using PHP because I did not want the server to be tied to

investment in learning it was wasted.  The only thing I use it for is

Had t learn PHP, javascript, HTML and CSS.  I think you have to , if you 
want it efficient.  Mine has to be as I am targeting millions of users 
not just hundreds.  It is my spare time project too.  Check it out if

work in progress.
