Philip Greenspun's blog posts about web development got me into building web applications in college and sold me on the design principles behind ArsDigita Community System (ACS), which ran on AOLServer and Oracle. When I joined Zipcar in 2001, I advocated for building our new web app on that stack. I still think it was a good fit, given our options at the time.

As a longtime zipcar member who owns Philip & Alex’s Guide to Web Publishing, this was awesome to learn!!

I hope for zipcar’s sake that Oracle was reasonable about the licensing fees…
