P.H.P. and Python

[Tyler Aviss]

Yes, thanks for the correction. I actually meant to mention Dojo in
there with AJAX. As far as web-development goes, things have come a
long way from onMouseOver and onClick statements, especially when it
comes to using tools like Dojo or JQuery.

As per the difference between a "framework" and a "library", isn't a
framework a collection of libraries?
