I have heard several times that what I do is not "real programming" - web application development is supposedly less challenging than "proper" desktop application development. But is it really so?

Sometimes I've seen people say PHP is a bad first language, because it teaches bad programming habits. But is this actually true at all? Often those who say that don't really like PHP themselves either, many times because of equally untrue reasons.
I think PHP is a perfectly good first programming ...

I've thought it would be useful, both professionally and just for fun, to know a bit wider array of frameworks, libraries and other stuff related to web development, and last week it was Jaxer time. Now, I've got my hands on Django, a Python-based web framework.
I've always liked Python - ...

This week I decided to take a look at Aptana Jaxer - A server-side JavaScript implementation, or "Ajax Server" like their site says. It's a bit different take on a server-side language and requires some new ways to do things.

Anyone who has been programming for a while probably has written tons of code. For example, I began working with PHP somewhere in 2001-2002 I think. That's 6 years ago.
As you can guess, I have written a lot of PHP code. I also happen to have some of my early ...

Everyone who has worked with Ajax probably knows how annoying it used to be sometimes to get the code working in some browsers (*coughiecough*)
This thing is now mostly a thing of the past, thanks to various great JavaScript libraries/frameworks providing excellent Ajax-functionality.
There's another thing too, though. A lot of people ...

Have you ever used Eclipse or any Eclipse-based IDE, such as Zend Studio Neon or Aptana Studio?
All fine tools, but they have a big problem: Java
Note: this post is a bit old (late 2007), and IDEs have gotten better since then. For example, NetBeans 6.5 is a personal favorite of ...

A lot of people seem to be slightly confused about what the M and C, Model and Controller, of MVC are, in regards to web applications.
What does the Model do?
What does the Controller do?
View is what everyone seems to know, though... I wonder why is that so? What is so ...
