Hi Benson,

I use Lithium framework, which was derived from CakePHP and Zend. Nate Abele left CakePHP and started Lithium (lithify.me). It is available on open source at. https://github.com/UnionOfRAD/lithium/
I also use MongoDB instead of MySQL in this framework. It is robust and I mainly rely on replicaSet and Sharding.

Aggregation framework is also an excellent feature.

You can get full support for this in stackoverflow.com and also on http://webchat.freenode.net/ #li3-dev

I am also available for any time for support and teaching the initial setup for this framework.

It uses MVC and thus you can really do a lot with this simple framework.

Any class is a plugin, so you can just add a class to this and it will work fine.

Isnt there anything apart from PHP for server side scripting?

[NilamDoc]

yes, python is one of the options which you can use for server side scripting for a bitcoin portal.

[Benson Samuel]

Am going to poke at Python & Ruby next.

Both look quite easy.

It is annoying that people ask to move away from PHP. Very few choices apart from it.

[NilamDoc]

Take a look at Lithium framework for PHP, with 5.5 in the framework is robust. I think it will suffice the needs of less programming and robust logic.

[Benson Samuel]

I did take a look at it.

Seems a bit of overkill for my current needs.

[NilamDoc]

Can you explain your requirements in email/chat. I may be able to find a solution for your needs.

[Benson Samuel]

No requirements Nilam.

I am an academic by nature and coding is my latest pet peeve.

I do build applications, but would like to take some time out and learn more.

Trying to absorb as many languages/ frameworks as possible.

hai Nilamdoc,Benson & Amit,
 .   1)   which is the best and secure software for BTC web-designing....I had designed a couple of web-sites....all static....which software can help me design dynamic web-sites ?
   2) where can I get a VPN....

[luckyindia]

There are more than a THOUSAND Programming languages...I wanted to learn C......I Purchased all the  books available in the market on C........Progamming languages are like commodities in the stock market. Every Tom, Dick and Harry names a Language.Since I have no time I go for WYSIWYG  softwares. Which is the best open-source WYSIWYG software.? (What You See Is What You Get)

As I told earlier you can go with a VPN hosted with Apache 2.2 with PHP and MySQL it will be an advantage if you install a framework too....

That depends on what do you want to do with it?

Lucky, each of those thousand programming languages have a specific function and capabilities.

I assume that you are asking about WYSIWYG editors for the front end. Try weebly.com or wix.com, these are well known online editors that may help you.

[buysellbitcoin]

lucky if you need just static WYSIWYG type of websites,We will recommend http://www.strikingly.com/

Obviously as Benson suggested, webly and wix are more sound and mature platforms

Also in case you want to have a look at a bit more powerful option I will recommend you to go with Wordpress.  Really powwerfull, have tonnes of functionality, cheap to host and maintain.

But on top of all, I will recommend if you are doing any thing serious with it which involves money it is much better to get help form some one who is good at it and have experience with it.

Cheers

Thank you buysellbitco.in for sharing your experience.

I Would go with Django web framework using python as req would be for scaling in long term as well as keeping ground level track of each and every request and response happening on the server and yet faster than PHP and relativly less complex and buggy then java.

[Amitabh S]

Anyone know any good combinations to replace PHP MySQL mainly for web dev?

Looking for something with wide developer support.

You should also have a look at JDBC/MySQL and NoSQL databases  (example mongo-db).

Mongolab is a company offering free mongodb as a service, which has a REST API, so you can operate the db by sending simple HTTP requests.

I am using MongoDB without any problems in my PHP Lithium framework. The document concept keeps all the records in JSON and hence easy for us to query.

I agree with this.  Been spending some time with Python. I thin it is awesome.

Python is amazing... With very little programming background, I managed to learn enough in 3 months to write a full fledged GUI Map generator for a board game..
I currently use python for pretty much everything -> from simple calculations to some simple text processing, and some small scripts for personal use.

One thing i was working on was a small python script that queries buysellbitco.in AND mtgox.com, every few minutes, and outputs the Market price, time stamp, and Effective USD/Re exchange rate.

I noticed that the price varies from around 59.0 to about 60.8 Rs/Usd ....
Simple things like this can help in timing an order with buysellbitco.in to get a better exchange rate (although in this case, its just a difference of Rs 1.8 ).
Took about n hour to write, test, debug and have it up and running without problems. Ran it for about a week before I got bored.

If Python is on the cards, I would love to contribute, although I would rate myself as an intermediate level programmer.
