IMHO I see PHP scripts for frontend apps and RoR apps for all the backend stuff, and that's what I'am actually trying to do at work ;-) I still think PHP has a major role to play in the future, with PHP5 object oriented and great features like SimpleXML.

As for ErlyWeb, why not? In fact, I've started looking at <a href="http://www.seaside.st/" rel="nofollow">Seaside</a> lately. So I guess I'll have to have a look at ErlyWeb. To Asvin: I was wondering whether to buy the Rails Cookbook and in the end I bought some other book. I'll buy it next time :-) Do you think it is still important to teach PHP now or is this kind of programming outdated? I'm asking because I'm setting up a new programme with some colleagues at the UoM and this is something that has been troubling me for some time... To curiousEngine:

Slowly I'am migrating all the "old" php scripts at work towards RoR apps. You can also have a look at the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rails-Cookbook-Cookbooks-OReilly-Orsini/dp/0596527314/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3601019-6184041?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175280439&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Rails Cookbook</a> (Oreilly) which is very very helpful, with lots of tips and tricks.

Erlang is a great language programming language for solving many different kinds of problems that are outside of its original domain (telcom).
