Complex Data Design

Multiplicity of method
allows many various forms of data

How do you store the data that you
use to craft your web-pages?  Do
you build everything every time?
Do you cache the data into static
parts and then knit them together?
Do you put data into a database?

There is not one 'right' way to do
these things.  
   If you use jQuery or
     the DOM in PHP, 
   or do things with C,
  what does it matter to me?
 In any case a good engineer is
able to work with a good technolgy or
codebase without having had 
previous exposure to it.  New
practices ought not be 'secret',
and if they are then you hamstring
the ability to bring in new members
to your important teams.

  Too much of technology is being
maniplated by people who don't actually
use it and don't care about it except that
they own it.  These people are not
technologically savey.  They ought to
have no say and yet they do.
   'You have to use this tech, 
because this is what the company owns.'

OK, we can do that.  But . . . here are 
some alternatives.

OH, no back talk.  You're fired. . . 

Oh Kay . . .
