well, I won't get around PHP as I have to use it for university.
It seems you're having the same opinion as the person that brought me to ask this question. He said PHP was a dinosaur that we should get rid off.
According to most replies on here it rather seems that it's very useful and recommended to still know that language as it's still widely used.
I will, however, take a look into JavaScript (already started with codecademy) and later on at the other suggested languages.
Rhino is so far the only one I haven't previously heard about.
Thanks for your replies.
- Mithaldu 14y agoPlease disregard the comments about Perl made by the person you replied to. He knows very little about it. Perl is still a very strong language that has not been overtaken by Python or Ruby in the job market: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=perl%2C+python%2C+ruby%2C+rhino%2C+javascript%2C+php%2C+node&l= http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=perl%2C+python%2C+ruby%2C+... If you do look into Perl, start on this site: http://perl-tutorial.org http://perl-tutorial.org It will show you the most up-to-date learning resources for Perl. About PHP, give this blog post a read: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-de... It makes the point that while you can develop and deploy very quickly with PHP, you will make trade-offs and will have to sacrifice consistency and predictability. Lastly, as a general advice: Look at all the languages, figure out which ones are fun for you and learn those. I say those because you will need to learn more than one. :)
- user48 14y agothanks for the links. I will definitely take a look at several languages and learn more of them over time.
