I’m getting ready to take an online course from the O’Reilley School of Technology (affiliated with the University of Illinois) and my friends recommend taking a PHP class for more web intuitive purposes. I have no formal training in any computer programming languages. Is it possible to start with a PHP class, so I can apply it to my needs right away, instead of taking the standard C and C++ classes that won’t ever be used? Thanks a lot!
PHP is easier than C and C++. In fact, it’s one of the easiest languages to learn. If you don’t plan on using C and C++ in the future, go for PHP.
