'Tis true.
Xander: Can I just say Gyughhh!
Buffy: I see your 'Gyughhh!' and raise you a Nyaghhh!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fixed, but using "I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh" because ... because I dunno. It's in the shooting script.

I have just noticed the little Buffistas logo that's appeared up on the address bar and on the tab (Netscape 7). I think it's neat.
I would like to learn how to do cool stuff.

Well I've seen that you're learning SmallTalk, whatever that is.
If you'd like to learn stuff relevant to this board and how we set it up, the list is HTML, PHP and SQL, but any one of them would be fun and look good on your résumé.

Thankyou John H.
Do you recommend one language as being more or less helpful?

Depends on what your goals are, really. PHP/MySQL is a good combo for low cost web solutions, for instance.
John H - Mar 12, 2003 2:08:35 pm PST #3449 of 10000
HTML is the basic one, really.
I think every Well-Brought-Up Young Lady today needs to know HTML.
PHP is like Magic HTML. And SQL is the storage and retrieval system you need for the ingredients when they get above a certain size.
But we should probably have this chat in Buffistechnology if we're going to go on in details.

Do people come across the acronym L.A.M.P. much?
It means "Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP". So we are, I'd guess, a LAMP site? Though I don't know about the L.
Anyway, all four technologies are open-source and free, so it's a deliberate contrast with dot-net, which isn't free and doesn't stand for anything.
