By cheaper, I mean that most components are $100 or less (and often
provided for free by your web host). People are stuck on this idea
that cash is money but time and effort or not. So, if you spend two
hours writing your own upload code, and five hours debugging it,
unless you consider your time relatively worthless, you've spent more
than $100. And haven't gained anything (see note on performance
above) except maybe a few more gray hairs.
I do disagree on the word 'anything', Aaron:
1
You will have gained important experience by implementing something
yourself. That is even worth far more than paying euro 100 for a tutorial.
[Yes I know Euro>$ nowadays]
2
Procesing performance is only important if you expect heavy use of the
code. Many pages I build are only for my own use, like db look up tables
for my work, even if they are on internet [because I work fom different
places on different networks], or for family use, like a family tree. Euro
100 is a lot of money for such applications.
