PHP

After a long hiatus I have decided to do some serious study about computers again.
To be more precise, a programming language.

Whilst I love Python because the source code looks so good due to its use of white space as a language construct. But I will be going for that other P language PERL PHP

Why?

It is one of the most popular programming languages on the net and is the engine behind popular blogging software like WordPress.
This site is in fact run on WordPress. So a greater knowledge of WordPress will help the site have more functionality, unfortunately it won’t improve my writing.

A good reference for setting up PHP on Mac OS X is http://www.mimoymima.com/resources/071016_apache-osx.php
