>> Should I go with PHP so I can get cheap coding help or man up and learn a big boy language
Facebook was written in PHP...
Re: language choice, pick whichever you are comfortable with, they all kinda do the same thing and you can mix/switch to other languages if the need for them arises later. If you go with PHP, better to go with a MVC framework like Cake or CodeIgniter or whatever, rather than Wordpress, because the Wordpress codebase is famous for being a mess.
Re: ambitions: I'd suggest doing some reading on angel investing etc before assuming you can make a "FB and mobile app" with merely some "cheap coding help".
Thanks, the 'Facebook was written in PHP' is probably the best argument for PHP there is. It makes a lot of sense.
As for ambitions, I don't see an investment need any time soon but the FB and mobile apps are where the real user base (and money) is for this thing, so I'd like that to not require a full recode or a lot of pain.
