The are tons of programming languages out there. I have been a web designer for a while now and I am looking to finally take that big step into programming. It seems that PHP is the popular one out now days but I don't want to waste time and energy on the wrong language.
It certainly can talk the talk Can it walk the walk?
I did everything backwards. I started with PHP, and PHP taught me HTML. Then again, I mostly use php as a backend for things like chat applications that run in a desktop application.
Anyway, PHP was really easy to learn, hosting is really cheap, and it's a great introduction to programming, as well as a good language to do more advanced things like database management and regex.
