Choosing a programming language for your Web project can be difficult; there are many languages to choose from, each with their pros and cons. It is possible to develop a solution to for your Web project in any language; Ruby, PHP, Perl, Java -- each has its place. We often choose to develop projects in PHP. Here’s why.
The partnership between the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township (MSDLT) and LightSky began more than six years ago when the district needed new public websites and a robust intranet system. The outcome of the initial project has served the schools and their constituents well, and now the district has revamped its Web presence and added even more powerful online tools.
LightSky’s roots are in custom Web application development. We still do a lot of custom programming, and we also recognize (and appreciate!) that the open source community has really stepped up the past few years and created some spectacular systems.
