Would PHP and MySQL for dummies be a good first way to pick up a scripting language?
Posted on 06 July 2010 by Abidoon
I know absolutely no scripting languages… I am dying to pick one up. Would PHP be a good way to start learning scripting, or would there be a better language to pick up as a first language? Thanks a million. I will def. pick a best answer for whoever can explain what and why I should learn it. Thank you!

i suggest ruby its more fun and more easy to deal with
PHP is easy peazy
Start with the php tutorials on this site, then do the mysql tutorials. That will get you up to snuff with the basics. Then get a textbook like the following that would teach mysqli and php 6.

Hi
Refer this php beginners guide http://www.phptutorial.info/ hope this site will be helpful to you.
Yes php is the best scripting language to start and i suggest you to learn from http://www.lynda.com/ paid php tanning its very simple and detailed
No, I would reccomend you start with html and javascript, they are more for beginers, and php is a more complex language.
