Ashish, Its a great Idea to learn any scripting language. From my experience PHP does very well in this arena. PHP is not "the only" scripting language but it is very easy to write code in and you can see the output immediately as it is interpreted. There is absolutely no need for fist compiling then getting everything right and then running some binary/class file. It just happens in one step.
If you know basic C & HTML you can start with PHP. It is really easy. Once you master it you can design a decent website in no more than few hours. To get you started, let me explain what LAMP actually means... L - Linux // the OS A - Apache // The webserver - the program that runs on the server to accept requests and send out responses accordingly M - Mysql // The database that stores the data. P - PHP // The interpreter/language that interprets the scripts written in PHP. So, if you know LAMP - you know the whole architecture, thats The bigger picture ofcourse. But starting from ground zero.. lets learn simple PHP first. I bet you will do wonders within no time. To be continued.... on need! :) P.S: I am assuming you are a novice and hence this long explanation on basics but if you are already a programmer and found my explanation to be kiddish - that wasnt the intent. -- John --- In [email protected], Sandeep Kumbhar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Ashish > > Its a good idea to work in PHP becoz ,if u see websites nowadays > all are done using LAMP,so go ahead and lets me know new things. > > Thanks > Sandeep Kumbhar > > ------------------------ > Ashish Sheth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello friends > on twincling.org website i saw many scripting languages in poll. > i am interested in php as many ascent ads are requiring lamp and php > skills. so is it a good idea to learn php ? > cheers > Ashish >
