My first real programming project was a ticket system for IBM in 2000 using PHP 3. I have to say that I knew C, java and perl. However, for generating HTML at the time PHP took far less time to create the pages I needed than any other language. In fact I went from learning PHP to writing my first full blown ticket system in a matter of two weeks. I'm terrible at programming. Now I use Ruby and Python plus have to do C and Java for Android. I still feel PHP was far easier to go from complete Novice to writing apps than any other language. Maybe I just haven't become well enough versed in this web 2.0 to know what it is I'm missing.
