Java Brings The Emo Side
Configuring a web app in Java is the headache. Essentially, I needed to have the Development Kit, the JRE, the app engine plugins, and libraries. And to start, I would need to specify the servlet properties in an XML file. And I have to deal with classpaths when coordinating with a co-developer. Whereas in PHP, I barely configure anything. Database properties, EasyPHP, and I’m all set. And you barely re-configure anything when a co-developer teams up with your code.
Well, like my partner said, it’s just a matter of interest.
Login Spree
Before my partner and I switched to Java, we finished a prototype under PHP which implements federated login via Google.
Too bad our PHP stuff were put to waste. Well, my partner managed to switch to Java now. Next, we are managing to migrate our project in our subversion.
ROAR for MOR(.ph)?
As it is our goal to deploy Projectrix into a cloud, we engaged in many debates about this. Which one to use? Will we use it? Are we sure?
Our options we’re Google App Engine or Mor.ph.
PHP on Google App Engine?
Bud and I did a little research:
(Sir Rom is quite hesitant about this as development of Quercus has been stagnant for 3 years I think.)
(With the above comment, this will be irrelevant, haha!)
Reptile or Coffee?
Okay the title’s a bit lame.
Earlier, we were tasked to look for a better cloud than Mor.ph that can support PHP–or we should choose between Python or Java (for App Engine) by Wednesday.
Hmm, I’m not really a fan of Java. As I’ve said to Dan–the challenge (if there’s any, I have no idea yet) of learning Python might just waste precious time of focusing on the challenge on enhancing the app per se. But I’m willing to give it a try before I resort to Java.
But I’m just one vote–the other must come from my buddy. I’ll try to play around Python and if I get to enjoy working with it for the next 6 hours, it’s a go for me.
