[GR-Jug] [J2EE or PHP]

[Matt.Carpenter at alticor.com]

The larger the company, the more technologies seem to be in play.
Still, there is always a push to simplify and leverage existing skillsets.

I would say that the PHP/Java split would be much more doable at a 
mid-sized company than a large one.  That said, I would recommend using 
Java for the whole kit and cabootle, for large companies, since it gives 
you JSP's, Servlets, and simply a great deal of library manageability 
(hierarchical) and automated documentation.  Different projects use 
different technologies, but within "project families", if you will, you're 
more likely to stick with one unless there is some compelling business 
reason to combine them.

There are many other factors, many of which support this direction, but I 
have to leave.

Have a great one.
