Web programming references

Web programmers take note, gotAPI is an excellent collection of searchable programming references wrapped up into a customizable interface.
Very, very good, flagged.
Now let's hope they keep adding the references.

Wow, this is great. This thing can pretty much replace several folders of bookmarks I've been keeping. Thank you!

This is awesome, I just sent it out to our whole support department. Now if they would just add ASP and ASP.NET it would be perfect!

to be honest, I'm pretty sick of being marginalized because I use a non-trendy platform supported by "evil Micro$oft." .NET is a perfectly good platform, and I'd much rather be writing in C# then hacking out spaghetti code in PHP. Have fun with those include files, boys!</bitter>

Sounds like someone needs a little Ruby to wash that bitter taste out of his mouth.

Don't get me wrong - I like Ruby on Rails. Learning it right now, in fact. Outside of having the ugliest syntax this side of Perl, I think it's a great platform. However, I don't think that it's mature enough for business purposes yet. Until it gets some more support and usage, I'll probably be using it for my side projects and .NET for my worky-type-stuff.
Anyway, all languages are great for something, and ultimately people should use whatever's best for whatever they're doing. I'm just sick of seeing .NET left out.

Yes, this is a great site. thanks.

Now, if they would just remove ASP & Visual Basic from the face of the earth, the Web would be perfect! (VB - ack! ptoo! :) )
I'm using Java and C# (ASP.NET), and I like'em both. dot.NET is OK by me. Rails is a great platform in a second-string language (but I hate languages that use whitespace instead of braces anyways). I think the web programming future on the enterprise side is something equivalent to "Java on Rails" - an efficient platform in a more robust language.

Oh believe me, I agree completely. Too bad we can't choose what we have to support. :-(

I feel your pain. We have a legacy codebase in ASP/VBScript that needs to be maintained for the time being. Any time we want to change anything, we've got to hack through this dense forest of include files. However, this sort of thing is par for the course in far too many languages.
