RE: Java vs PHP
Here's my own perspective regarding Pak adiwirasta's post: "Java vs PHP".
- PHP has shorter learning curves than Java
- PHP has more support for web-development, since PHP was created for building web application.
- Java is intended for general purpose language, so it has more tools and library to support it.
- PHP has OOP, but Java do it better.
- PHP is lack of threading support.
- PHP is more scalable than java, since requirements are cheap, and resource is scattered, while Java, is more corporate minded, with support and stuff.
As a matter of choice, it depends on the subject. If I working on a simple CRUD web-application, I choose PHP. But if my job require concurrency support, I'll do it in Java. And if I were asked to choose between PHP or Java for my work? I can't choose. My company use both.

Hello, I'm a newbie in opensource until i realize it's risk for company's finance I have eksisting hospital software with vb-sql server if i do a migration to open source, what is your recomendation for programming & database? thank you
Dear adit203 Personally I'm so glad that you decided to step into open source sides. For a painless migration from VB-SQL to open-source, you can try Gambas. Very2 resembles VB. http://gambas.sourceforge.net/ For database solution, you could use Postgre or MySQL, as both is most likely reliable and popular open-source database server. http://www.postgresql.org/ http://www.mysql.com/
