I'm a linux admin at a datacenter with 35k physical servers and my current count for fucked up WP installs compared to Wp installs that could handle 10M views/day is like 1000 to 0. I'm not sure about the first number but I'm 100% positive about the second one.

10M views per day? You're just here to flaunt your credentials, clearly. So far outside the topic of a student organization website that will probably see 400 visits per year or something.

It's just bad computer science. Efficiency doesn't matter if your problem is small so the ease of use, endless features, short dev time and security of Wordpress makes it by far the best solution. Not to mention the supposed ineefficiency of Wordpress is due to your own error because nobody complains about Wordpress' performance and is the most deployed blog software for any size website.

BTW just because you're a computer science student doesn't make it an excuse to learn any language under the sun. Good way to spread yourself thin.


Agreed. I personally know a decent amount of html, css, javascript, php etc to make a site from scratch yet for something like this I wouldn't consider wasting the time. Unless the OP plans on being a web developer, which he clearly doesn't given the lack of experience, then using a template is a better way to go.

Reinventing the wheel is rarely the best solution unless of course you plan on going into the wheel making business.

1) I didn't bring up 10M number so please read entire thread.

2) Using a framework is faster than creating a WP if you know any programming so your argument about effort doesn't apply.

3) Programming languages (and yes, scripting languages) have a common logic and the more you switch between them the better you get at it. Anyone who thinks they can learn a single programming language and ride it to retirement is fooling themselves so get good at being flexible early.

I'm curious what your background is regarding WP because I've never heard anyone defend it before. Most people I know will at least go to Drupal for their CMS needs.

I actually started with saying I don't like WP, but it's much better than you say it is and it will handle what OP wanted perfectly.

I also find it ironic that you bash WP and suggest CakePHP in same post, even go as far as comparing it with C++.

You couldn't be more wrong.


CakePHP is closer in how it operates logically to a conventional programming language than normal LAMP development. Have you even used it? You can make a forum or a blog in literally minutes. I once had a class assignment to remake twitter in RoR and everyone was done in 3 hours.

Next you're going to be telling me about your cutting edge shopping cart software OScommerce.
