For sure, I just don't know what computing/abstract concepts PHP would be good for teaching to a student. CS programs aren't "how to develop production code" programs they're more like teaching you all the ins and outs of things you wouldn't learn on the job, how data structures work, algorithms, algorithm scaling, CPU's, compilers, etc. I think in my CS program I only had 3-4 actual "programming" classes and they were all in C/C++. Granted that was in the late 90's...

Is there any fucking goddamn piece of fuck way to dynamically resize an iframe to the contained content? Sites are on different domains; We control all of the domains and do the webdev. Our webdevs are fucking clueless, so I'm asking the hive mind that is you guys; the people who actually know their shit.

Heh it was a joke really. For a long time the array was the only data structure in PHP.

Not sure why a private ebook server needs to 'scale' though.

My work has an initiative right now where they are doing annoying benchmark testing out of corporate and these repetitive, annoying tasks such as - timing how long a document opens through citrix, how long it takes X application to open through citrix, etc and input it into a spreadsheet - are occurring once a month. This seems ripe for automation but it's not really my wheel house. Is there anything I can start researching to figure out how to make this not such a soul crushing chore?

Not sure I follow you fully but cron jobs and scripts should be able to cover most of that. How complex are these spreadsheets? If they use csv format, that makes the data input quite easy. It also helps if most of the applications are callable from the command line(they should be).
Yeah, I can call them up in cmd by targetting the farm and application. The issue for me is how to basically run a timer against a program opening. For instance script up -
1) Call to open program (Let's say Word over Citrix)
2) Time it takes for program to load over the network and open
it's just a csv so yeah, the data import isn't the confusing part...it's is there a parameter for this computer to know how long a task takes to complete?

Linux or cygwin, you can use the 'time' command. The complicating factor might be application itself. For instance, I have a macro(np) for calling notepad++ from my cygwin command line. I can run 'time np' and it will give me the time it took to open notepad++ even though the application stays open and running afterwards. I don't know if all applications will play as nicely. They might need to be forcefully closed(by you) in order for 'time' to return, and this might corrupt your data.

So here is a weird couple of questions.
1.) Does anyone know much about docker? I have dabbled with it but going to try and make one myself and not sure where to start really.
2.) So that program I had built, how hard is it to "translate" things like that to other code? I would assume it has to all be done by hand but is there a way to attempt to auto translate it by machine? Let's say it's made in ruby and I want it in python or umm nodejs or anything else.
