To offer a counterpoint to no PHP folks, One reason I like PHP is because
right now its pretty much essential to know if you are using open source web
applications like MediaWiki, Wordpress or Drupal. I feel like Javascript is
also a must for web work. Personally, I'm also a fan of XSLT to do

You're assuming the only use for a programming language is to
dynamically serve up a web site. That would be a serious mistake.

Language choice where there are no decisive external factors - like
business requirements - is tricky. For most programmers, the language we
prefer is nothing more than that - a preference. But new programmers by
definition don't know enough to have a preference.
If you're a free spirit and like e
I've been focusing on XSL and XQuery, but Python's on my list to do
although I want to do a turn in Perl first, very versatile.

I wouldn't recommend PHP to learn as a programming language, if your goal is to
have a general purpose programming language at your disposal. PHP is a fine
language for building dynamic web pages, but it won't help you to slice and
dice a big text file or process a bunch of XML or do some other

Not to start any flame wars, I'll have to agree with Rosalyn on Python. My
favorite, one reason is the syntax requires readablity, for instance,
indention is part of the syntax. And, I am running Zope/Plone servers (since

I agree with the responses that suggest you look at the problems you want to
solve and then decide which language, and more importantly which _community_
surrounding a language, is most in tune with solving those problems.

Hi Jenny,
What are your professional interests in the library? You should pick a
language that is relevant and a useful tool for doing what interests you.

I discovered (i think through a code4libber) the other day a great

of a series they do for their employees.
