Hello all,
My name is Jim Jackson (Username: Zislatik) and I am amazed at processwire. I have been a student of MODX and always found my web development endeavors coming up a little short (my failings not MODX). Modx was the first CMS that I installed that made sense to me and I have created several basic site in it. I love the Modx community but in recent years I feel it has gotten pretty "big" as they have grown in a direction I am not sure I want to follow. I still love the community and I am very thankful to have found it.
I am extremely please that I have found processwire. Processwire works the way I think when it comes to a CMS. I love that the community is smaller and developing. I feels like I can get in on the ground floor and watch it develop. I loved template variables, snippets and chunks in MODX which is why I gravitated to MODX but I am finding that infinite fields rock! Mind you I am a novice and I am sure I have just scratched the surface of what processwire offers.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce my self and for warn everyone that I will probably have a stream of newbie questions slowing the forums. I do have a couple of quick questions.
1. Are there any other MODX converts here and what would be the advice you would offer to a student of webdev in learning the differences?
2. I have a basic grasp of php, html and CSS, is it really as easy as it seems to build a site with process wire?
3. Any developers out there making money with processwire professionally? I have seen paid modules but I mean building site for customer in process wire?
Again, thanks for any information provided. I am happy to have found processwire and I appreciate everything in advance.
Thanks,
JIm
