I am working on developing a website which includes lots of calculators (users of the website will fill out the form and my website will do some calculations and will present the numeric result and some diagrams). Some of these calculators require relatively intense computations (e.g., integration). I am considering two options:
1. Using drupal/php
2. Using java servlets
My preference is working with Drupal; however, my concern is that php might not be as efficient as java Servlets for computational purposes.

I would appreciate any suggestions or comments.

Session schedule is posted!

In addition, a "showcase bazaar" (currently labeled "BOF") will be held in a computer lab (room 325) for people to present informally about something cool, interesting, and
useful. Proposed sessions that were submitted as "lightning talks" or "Q&A" have been asked to present there.

Just over five weeks to go to Western Mass Drupal Camp 2012!

Heat up your January by being a part of Western Mass Drupal Camp 2012!

The Boston PHP group has acquired some free, collaborative, wifi-enabled work space on Saturday, 11/12 at the Microsoft N.E.R.D. center which is very close to the MIT space the Boston Drupal group uses for meetups.

"Do you have projects you've been dying to work on, but you're not sure how to get started? Are you looking for a way to get away from the distractions of home life so you can focus on development? Do you work better in a collaborative environment where you can bounce ideas off another developer?"
