The web and the technologies that run the backend have always interested me. I have never realy gotten into the guts of proper programming and coding. I'll have a look at those links when I'm back on company time. ;) Nice one man. The web and the technologies that run the backend have always interested me.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm stalking you, but I thought you might have a techie and interesting blog and I was right :) Learning PHP is great for making web pages, but to learn more (I know I sound a bit pretentious, but I don't mean to patronise) it *is* better to learn deeper computer science. For instance, did you know that javascript is a functional language? It has taken inspiration from the lambda calculus. http://eloquentjavascript.net/chapter6.html Some things that I like: Haskell, a lazy functional language http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Introduction#Why_use_Haskell.3F MIT lectures http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ I find getting my head around MIT lectures really hard! All the best, dude! More learnings is what everyone always needs all the times.

Instead it's full of people, as you said, talking absolute crap, making multiple messages (to get aroudn the 140 character limit) and using it for conversation. What's more annoying is just how so many companies are niaively backing it in hopes it will be huge, but no one is really sure why. Cheers A G’day stranger, nice blog mate :)
