[Xitami] CGI School

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

Jay,
   I've used them all, PHP, PERL, Java, etc. but when I really need a good
solid Web application, one that does exactly what I want with speed and
stability, there is no substitute for the PowerBasic Console Compiler.
(www.powerbasic.com) Hands down, end of discussion best option going.  From
the sounds of things, you'd feel right at home with PB and it behaves
perfectly with Xitami.
