Curious about PHP
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 11:19 am
Hello,
My name is Jason. I'm a cf (coldfusion) developer. I've been working with cf since version 4 (about 10 years). I also have extensive experience with both SQL server( back to version 2000) as well as with ORACLE (currently working with 10g,). Currently I work for a good company, we have several products, all of which run on coldfusion. I'm tasked with creating new modules for our existing products as well as new products, typically driven by the needs of our clients. I am also our lead db.
Though coldfusion is an good language to work with, I want to expand my skills, hopefully opening up other opportunities. I haven't worked with php since 2002 (senior in college). Anyways, I want to reacquaint myself with php. My plan is to set up a shopping cart on a server of mine at home (running ubunto). I want to find a fairly modern one, running on the most current version of php. I'm hoping to find one that takes advantages of packages and function calls, not purely spaghetti code. I've build several shopping carts in cf, so I figured this would be a great place to start to re-familiarize myself. I'd also like to find some examples that use webservices.
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Jason
