Hey guys, I am interested in knowing, what new Web D. projects you are doing, curious to know, what data base you use, and if you are using Linux or Windows platform. Also, will like to know, if there are any alternatives to Adobe products, that you may be using ---

Thus far, the Ruby stuff has mostly been personal projects, while my professional web dev work is primarily PHP or Perl. With luck, I’ll be able to phase out PHP in favor of Ruby in the near future. I’ve used MySQL a bit, but I’m working more with PostgreSQL now, for a number of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that, when I’m working on a project that doesn’t have a specific requirement for a given database, I can’t find anything about MySQL that makes me want to use that instead of PostgreSQL – but several times PostgreSQL has come up the clear winner in terms of some preferred or needed functionality. I also find the licensing for PostgreSQL to be more amenable to my needs and preferences. What do you mean by “alternatives to Adobe products”? Are you asking about Flash, or Acrobat/PDF stuff, or Creative Suite, or AIR, or ColdFusion, or HomeSite, or Dreamweaver, or . . . what? ---

No database. Flat file are best. BSD. And Lua of course 🙂 Here are two demo of a little wiki engine, Nanoki, implemented in Lua: “Wikipedia Selection” [http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/](http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/) “lua-users wiki” [http://nanoki.luaquiz.com:1080/](http://nanoki.luaquiz.com:1080/) Cheers, ---

For the first, I am using PHP, Smarty and PostreSQL and the second is in planning, so it is still open whether to Ruby or PHP and MySQL or PostgreSQL or just flat files for the start.
