What do you think?\nDon't get me wrong, I use PHP everyday since Thats what I use.\n\nASP.NET is enriched with stuff you could do. For bigger Entreprise development ASP.NET will help you succeed quicker faster and efficient. The IDE makes it all good as well.\n\nLook what ASP.NET has to offer... Millions of controls to just drag and drop, Portability within Ohter Languages like C#/ JAVA / C++ and beyond using interop, and what not.\n\nASP.NET is only on windows, but the mono project in Linux can run them :) ASP.NET is the best to work in a group of teams since it is the most extensible.\n\nFinally ASP.NET is made from Microsoft and they allow students to use it for FREE, and let corporations pay money if they are using it. Users who want to use and and practice can download the IDE Expres Edition easily.\n\nASP. has nice AJAX control called ATLAS.NET which makes doing ajax applications SO EASY and Object oriented. It is onyl tags. No javascript. Like <atlas>....</atlas>\n\nPHP is new, it is just a scripting language. that you can't incorporate a real program within. PHP is weak in object oriented design. \n\nPHP has no sence of standardizations. Variables can be instantiated on the fly withought any declarations. The scope is too high.\n\nPHP has no shortcuts and many users don't be aware of the security issues if you program bad.\n\nBUT PHP is opensource, free, and portable. PHP can do a job right quickly. (same as perl). PHP can allow you to create a full site within minutes.\n\nYou use PHP to do webdev, it can get a little slow some times. PHP is great for small stuff, when the project gets bigger it can lose focus.\n\nI recommend you to use EJB or .NET for webapplications if the project is expanding.\n\nThe new emerging technology is RUBY ON RAILS. Which is a new way to do object oriented Web development or standard dev which is amazing. Take a look at that.\n\nI think PHP will stay how it is today and die slowly. Nothing has been improved within PHP for the past years except more oo design. But thats my 2cends

Ajax is very powerful stuff - but its really useful in populating forms and interface elements in a web page without refreshing or reloading. I second the first poster's suggestion that you really ought to consider Flash for such a thing, since just about everyone has Flash anyway.... its graphics model would be less flaky than a web browser, and you wouldn't have to worry about the behaviour of different browsers.

She's Come Undone, by Wally Lamb. Greatest read ever! Then there's always the Harry Potter books, there's 6 of them now, so they should keep you pretty busy.

well you just said a mouth full my advice would be to google A.J.A.X. and the xmlhttprequest object, the methdology is all about uptodate real time interaction like a desktop application.

Check out my sources below. They highlight and break down into great detail the benefits of using AJAX.\n\n"AJAX has two huge benefits:\n\nSpeed and invisibility (ala smart client) makes for a very slick user experience. \nThe smaller server resources footprint helps server scalability (seriously!)."

Actually to answer peace, it is perhaps the most translated book in history next to the bible and is known by the whole of china which makes up a 1/5 of the world's population, + lots of scholars and philosophy interested people, + taoists of course.  As one of the main 3 texts of taoism it is indeed an important book (Tao Te Ching, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu)\n\nYes I was aware of this, did you know the I-Ching is even older still!  And perhaps contains some really startling information.\n\nA lot of what would have gone into the Tao Te Ching would also have survived in other texts or by oral tradition before becoming the works we know today as the Tao Te Ching.  The Hua Hu Ching is a good read too, again with some interesting thoughts on the nature of things. (i think they pioneered quantum physics millenia ago!)\n\nIt is a wonderful book that everyone should have a look at!\nYou can get it off the internet easy enough.

I'm reading this book right now\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0452285259&itm=1\n\nI just got it, so I haven't read too far, but so far it's very interesting and easy to understand.  Here's some others on my list\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0195142373&itm=2\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=019514743X&itm=5\n\nI would look on ebay or half.com, or even your library, first.\n\nI also think game theory and number theory are interesting topics, so if you or anyone else has a recommendation for those, please let me know :)\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI forgot this one, it's on my list, too\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?z=y&pwb=1&ean=9780691058542\n\nAnd I agree, good for you for expanding your horizons.

it depends on your prior experience but check this out\n\nhttp://www.infoworld.com/article/06/07/31/31FEajax_1.html\n\nthe topic compares the best ones Dojo, Google Web Toolkit, Microsoft Atlas, Open Rico and Prototype, Yahoo AJAX Library, and Zimbra’s Kabuki AJAX Toolkit.\n\nfor my personal experience I am quite happy with Prototype. \n\nwhile Dojo, zimbra yahoo provide good ready made user interface tools,  prototype seems to provide more for async calls.\n\ndojo demostration tools are very good as well. \n\nthere is one more opencube, but they have a fee for commercial use.

go to the source - The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth.  It is the bible of data structures.

The best place to start is with "PHP/MySQL for Dummies".  It's now out of print, but you should be able to find it on eBay or try Google.  Amazon also sells used copies.  Once you have a basic understanding of PHP and MySQL, there are LOTS of great books for beginners through professional.  Do a search on Amazon for that.\n\nThe documentation at php.net is good, but it's a little too technical for those new to PHP and MySQL.\n\nGood luck!

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is scripting technique for silently interchanging and manipulating data asynchronously with the web server . AJAX scripts commonly use the soon to be standardized XMLHttpRequest object. It makes a web application a highly interactive one - it feels like a client server application - if AJAX is applied properly. \n\nThis link could be a good starting point for you - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29

I don't think there's really any one "best" book on the subject. Here's one I've found very informative:\nNatural Hormone Enhancement by Rob Faigin\nhttp://www.extique.com/\n\nA large section is devoted to nutrition and explaining not only what types of foods are good for you but, more importantly, why. The rest of the book is devoted to exercise and lifestyle. Much of it is written from the perspective of a body builder, but it is excellent advice for anyone simply trying to make their body healthier.\n\nIf you are interesting in learning a LOT about nutrition and exercise (mind you, this book is very technical and not a quick read), I highly recommend it.\n\nFor recipes, I recommend the following:\nStella's Kitchen: Creative Cooking for Fun, Flavor and a Lean, Strong Body by Dave Draper and Stella Juarez\nhttp://www.stellaskitchen.com/\n\nThey offer some excellent, delicious recipes high in micronutrients for a strong and healthy body. The recipes focus on eliminating processed carbohydrates, focusing instead on nutrient dense whole foods. She also offers some great kitchen tips and advice for healthy snacks.
