So I've had this relationship with MS-Access for over a decade. It was causal at first, I'd see her a few days here and there on certain projects. Later on it became more serious as I stopped seeing other platforms and developed in Access exclusively... However the relationship has lost it's thrill and it's time to move on.
What I'm asking you, my dear reader, is what you would recommend? What are the hottest development tools on the market. I looked into Ruby and Ruby on Rails and though it was very attractive it didn't seem to have much substance. Right now I'm eyeing PHP as a small client wants something done on the web in PHP and MySQL. Before I dive in to a commitment I want to know your opinion. It seems like it's been around for a while and will even longer. One of the recruiters told me that I should look into SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) with my background. Should I court PHP? Should I look back into Ruby? Should I go with what I know with SSRS and SQL Server? Keeping in mind, of course, market demand and it's future.
Any input is appreciated.
