I'm not one to cry "Premature optimization!", but scalability is more of a server/infrastructure thing than a language thing. You shouldn't worry too much about the proper language for a scalable site since it will probably be able to run on a laptop even at several thousand users.

Facepunch has run on PHP and MySQL for the past 9 years. Don't sacrifice ease of development for speed.
Thanks for the answers. I'll keep in mind that the language won't be an issue then. I did some tests using shell scripting, but that didn't work too well when more than 100 connections were made at the same time.
However, I could be doing things wrong. But I'll resort to a real server-side language, and not worry too much about it then.
I'm not exactly a professional. My knowledge on this subject is very limited, as I haven't really had any real experience wih it.
Again, thanks for the answers!
I've learnt a couple of things while at my new job.
1. CodeIgniter is annoying and yet it's really useful
2. I know nothing
3. I've been doing everything wrong

Isn't CodeIgniter dead by this point?
[QUOTE=supersnail11;45048012]Isn't CodeIgniter dead by this point?[/QUOTE]
That doesn't mean you can magically switch legacy apps to a new framework :P
CodeIgniter had its run but is complete shit at this point.
If your app uses proper abstractions it shouldn't be much of a headache to switch frameworks.
[QUOTE=supersnail11;45048012]Isn't CodeIgniter dead by this point?[/QUOTE]
Yes, pretty much. I've told my boss about it and he said he's open to using frameworks, which is nice. Just not yet.
[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;45048087]That doesn't mean you can magically switch legacy apps to a new framework :P[/QUOTE]
I don't think getting familiarized with another framework just to port existing projects/apps is a good idea. Shouldn't you just wait for new projects to start a new with?

Framework choice is always going to have an impact on your application architecture if you're using it properly though, because most frameworks have some conventions that you should follow to really get the full benefits of using a framework. Swapping out the entire backbone of a web app is not going to be a small undertaking for even moderately sized applications.
[QUOTE=TrinityX;44882047]As in loading/saving files to git repositories? That's going to take quite a while, so i'll have to postpone that a bit.

Woo, first GitHub repository! :dance:
I really need help on this, so please do contribute![/QUOTE]
I've been looking for something to start contributing too for some time now and this seems perfect.

Yeah, for some ass-backward reason Codepen wraps lines, so data-urls pretty much always look like shit.
Just something gimmicky, but I wrote something this morning in JavaScript that encodes text into a line parsed RGB image.
It increases the size of the text by 300-400%, but it's pretty neat. 50 paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum encodes into this:
[img]http://up.nlan.org/bveTv.png[/img]
Each pixel is a random RGB allocation of the total sum of the character code, so it only supports ASCII. There's support for line headers for various information, but I don't know what to do with it. The Garry's Mod sent_ball.lua looks like this:
[img]http://nlan.org/grimage/grimage_test.png[/img]
The code isn't refined and it can end up locking up browsers if too much data is ran through, but here's a demo for anyone interested: [url]http://nlan.org/grimage/[/url]

I made a thing that generates a wallpaper based on your most played steam games. Hosted on a tiny azure VM until I get my new(ish) home server :v

So after a few weeks of pretty much no coding mood, I finally got the userscript for my facepunch link shortener done.
Here's the link [url]http://shortn.fcpn.ch/usrscrpt/fcpnch.user.js[/url]
I needed excuse to learn nodejs and use my dusting raspberry pi.
So I'm trying to make a torrent client and so far I figured out how to use the library :v:

[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;45010414]I think the post ratings speak for themselves. Hard to fault. Banner text seems to react weirdly if you constantly keep resizing the page, but that's not really a problem since no ones going to do that, and it fixes when you let go of resizing.
If you shrink the webpage a bit:

Would be great if "world." could be moved to be on the same line as the others so the "learn more" is on the same line too instead of being pushed down.
Also do people still need a button at the bottom of the webpage that takes it back to the top? On computers and Android phones scrolling to the top is done in seconds, and on the iPhone where the scrolling "sticks", you have the "tap at the top of the screen" to get to the top easily.[/QUOTE]
I think the banner text is related to a jquery plugin that was used for it. I might have a look at adjusting it to simply snap and pause when resizing.
All good points, I would agree with the 'back to the top' button, the team discussed whether or not to remove it today, so we'll see what happens.
The team member that led the design of our site is actually leaving now to go to university, so we've got a spot opening up if anyone's interested. [url]http://www.tjcuk.co.uk/jobs[/url]
