Of course, there is the whole A!=a (or A<>a for the non-C folks) issue that Drew suggested. <rolls eyes> I'd launch into a "new generation of programmers" rant, but I'm 27 and don't have a CS degree. I did take some C,C++ and JAVA courses in college, and letter-perfect syntax has been ingrained into me. Plus, working on as many legacy A2 apps as I have, I am used to the editor changing lngMyVarName to lngmyvarname if I am too lazy to type it in properly. Thus, I am pretty picky about that sort of thing. One's own environment dictates the style... -----Original Message----- From: Seth Galitzer [mailto:sgsax at ksu.edu] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:27 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] multi-platform ASP was: OT: Yee Haw.... Tom, Actually, it does. Sun bought a company called ChiliSoft which created a cross-platform ASP interface. It's expensive, but if you've got to have ASP, it's the best way to go. I believe there are others, but the former ChiliSoft product is supposed to be the best. Having said that, why bother forcing ASP if you don't have to. PHP is a great product, AND it's free, AND it's no harder to learn than any other language. ASP is easier to learn for people who have only had VB/VBA/VBScript experience, but if you have decent programming skills and can stand learning something new, PHP shouldn't be too hard to pick up.
