Re: Programmers with network engineering skills

The right tool for the right job.

PHP (and the LAMP stack) can result in very quick development of systems
that will run on any vanilla Linux server.  In my experience, that has
turned out to be a huge benefit.

If you have a developer who knows C well, then they will more than likely
be able to use PHP properly.  I use both C and PHP myself, and have no
conflict.  I think they compliment each other nicely.  C for performance,
PHP for web applications or quick scrips.

C# and any .NET language on the other hand . . . now /that/ I question.
