Hi,
I'm a previous user of perl and want to write a few web sites that require database work.
Perl is old hat now, so what do I move to? I've heard somethings about Ruby , but not too much. PHP is obviously easier to move to coming from the Perl background.
Is there anywhere I can compare the two?
Any other options? My background is database development as well as perl.
What about databases? I'e used mysel in the past but have an oracle background. Hows mysql compare with postgres? Hosting companies always seem to support mysql and less so Postgres?
Thanks
Dave
