With due respect to PHP and his blog but after reading all this blog suggestions why no better use Java and be done, It have all what he suggest but much better than PHP, PHP has been a kitchen sink since the beginning so it drives to people to make a mess on their code, And also Dynamic languages have similar problems as statically languages when the code grows.
Relate his points with this ones:
1.Version control: All programming languages should use it even I use it for my excel docs.
2.OOP: Java it drives you to do proper OOP.
3.Coding Standards and Patterns: Java have it too in a higher degree.
4.Document your code: Java have thousands of good tools for it.
5,6,7. Java have gazillions of neat frameworks to choose, use JUnit for testing, Java is a proper OOP you can reuse your objects and components check Spring, Guice, OpenEJB those can help you to do it much better.
8,9,10.Same in Java as PHP.
11. Good IDE: Java have awesome IDEs with awesome refactoring tools and much more, Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ, Borland JBuilder, MyEclipse.
@OtengiM: heh heh..no probz. Here is my comment from my blog:
"In my opinion, Java and PHP both are excellent languages and they have their own place where they excel. Although Java can be used in almost all scenarios, for web based solutions PHP can be more handy than Java. It allows developing and deploying quality web application in record time. And with the latest additions to the PHP language, these applications can be robust and secure.
I suggest you keep an eye on the latest trend in PHP, you'll see that it's quite a mature language right now. I've seen people using both PHP and Java, which they use for specific need.
