Re: Hmm, why so?

"Whilst I am aware that this probably isn't the best of career moves,
financially speaking, there is something else that drives me"


I meant two things by this. Firstly that, it's my understanding that, LAMP jobs
aren't as readily available as say Notes jobs are. I've said before that I see
PHP as something of a hobbyist's tool. There are jobs out there but I'm not
learning LAMP in the expectaction that my career is headed that way.


Talking of hobbyists. I am one. Which brings me to the second point. I am
driven by my love of my chosen profession. I love messing with code and
learning new technologies. I love PHP because, from the outset, it's been
designed to do what I want a web "server" to do. It's a breath of fresh air
after spending so long under the shackles of Domino.


Hope that clears it up,
Jake
