Thanks Jerry,

However, may I respectfully suggest that you can (and likely should)
use open source PHP projects to create a wide variety of "web sites"
from blogs, to personal home pages, to enterprise web portals. I also
contend that to preserve your sanity that you use or write for
yourself software that is unit and functional tested.

The aspect of your response that is most unsettling to me is that an
individual such as yourself that works presumably as a "trainer" is
utterly unaware of TDD, as is sadly much of the PHP community. I
intend no offense in making this observation. In fact, you may be
among the top 10% of competent trainers in computing and, so long as
you're not training in software development, remain ignorant of the
concept of TDD. However, if software development is something JDS does
for profit then investigating TDD might be the smartest move you've
made in a while.

Best wishes and good luck,

Bill
