[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

Hi Susan:

But PRISMS (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6665) purpose is
the integration of desk-top apps into the internet. Like SHARE POINT
(http://www.microsoft.com/online/en-ca/trial.mspx?WT.srch=1) and JOOMAL
(http://www.joomla.org)... Then there is HyperOffice which I have no idea
what it is...

I definitely like the idea of doing mashups with various technologies and
that is all being made possible with the associated browser interface(s) and
protocols.

Jim

But then, Firefox comes along with Prism so you can use web-applications 
like desktop applications! How odd is that?
