[NBLUG/talk] Recent PHP version on Centos 6.5

[Omar Eljumaily]

It's interesting.  I used to use JSP/Java almost exclusively for website 
development.  There are some important memory management and linguistic 
aspects of PHP that make it much more stable, way easier to code, and 
much faster than JSP for me.

PHP is a scripting language.  If you try to make it something more, it's 
going to choke.  Facebook's strategy is to have a thin scripting layer 
with C compiled code for the data crunching backend.  I'm not a big fan 
of Facebook, but I believe they have got that technical strategy 
correct.  I'm working with their API not because I think they're a cool 
company, but because they're a market force that is important to deal with.
