g1smd:

Yes, you did. I did too. Oracle and SBC are both losing stock in "system integration" software and their whole sales pitch because companies are finding that other "enterprize solutions" like LAMP can satisfy all their business needs without having to rely upon extremely expensive, proprietary, expensive, incompatible, expensive, in-house, expensive, caveat emptor, expensive, secret, expensive, anal-retentive, expensive predictable software.

Remember when Digital Corp. - who were the King-Hell 128 bit avant-garde, Defense Department gurus for years - got bought out by Compaq? Compaq? The same PC people who sell $500.00 PCs? It's true.

But it occurs to me that the jargon just goes on and on. How can anyone make a legitimate recommendation about what to study or how to encourage a person to devote their time and understanding toward ANY language, platform, method or SE presentation without knowing the scope, depth and requirements of a project? It is literally academic. That's why most cyber-educators and their schemes are failures.

These forums are more infomative than instructors are. Everybody has 1000 code snippets stored away in remote, forgotten folders somewhere.

I'm not about to get into some highly opinionated discussion here about who does what best. Whatever. I don't care if people want to write Python all day long (which is a good thing), but you certainly won't see me discourage anyone from pursuing anything they seem to think important at the time...

My baseline is: Study what you want, do the best you can and always keep your options open if you lose interest in what you're doing. Having read my own advice, I'm not sure it makes sense or works either, for that matter.
