PHP vs. JSP
Following this thread on Harry Fuecks blog; “The J2EE guy still doesn’t get PHP” which is a long winded reply to a scalability discussion that started in the wake of Friendster moving from PHP to JSP, i ended up spending most of the day reading up on PHP vs. Java vs. Everything discussions, articles and whatnot. All of them interesting reads though. In the end it still boils down to use what you know but us it wisely type mantra’s. PHP works fine for big sites, Java/JSP does too. PHP at the moment does have the edge in actual working examples though (think Yahoo.com).
