What language?
« on: July 30, 2012, 03:17:52 pm »
Okay I've been really bored lately and decided to start a new language: these are my choices in which I want to learn.
  • JQuery
  • JavaScript
  • SQL
  • PHP


Please tell me which one you think I should learn and why!!

Learn PHP because you can make versatile webpages and services in no-time. I wouldn't want to miss it as a skill.
Learn SQL because it is indispensable to make any (php) website have dynamic content, and oh yeah, SQL Injection ;)
Learn Javascript to a very basic level so you understand frameworks like jQuery, but don't use it a lot. Except XSS, iykwim...
Learn jQuery because it is way faster (in developing) when you use this instead of bare js.

All of them (ultimately) if you want to succeed at what I'm guessing youre attempting, web dev.

Javasctipt for syntax and basic rules, then add on jquery to make deving quick, fun, and easy!

Toughie.....

I would go a little php, then switch to a timy bit of JavaScript, finish php, jQuery, then SQL.

That way with PHP and JS you can build some sites. Then you bring in jquery and
1) you will realize it simplistic power better and
 2) you will be able to change around some of the sites you made earlier and see how jQuery is helpful
(I wouldn't recommend going too big on the site stiff before jQuery tho.)
Also, this way you will be able to keep an interest switching between languages, learning how each can help/change each other.

Then SQL is the icing, basically.

Just my opinion.

^That's what I would do. One of the worst feelings in the world is waking up and realizing you no longer have an interest, a passion - in what you love doing. Mixing things up, doing things in sections, is a good way IMO to keep that alive.

Ah, I should've stated that more clearly :): PHP!
But you will soon find the need to learn some basic SQL and javascript, either way.

And your goal is indeed a factor: if you want to learn some hacking skills (or understand some tools better), you should harness the more intricate tricks of sql & javascript, if you want to web-dev, you can suffice with basic copy-paste sql statements and jquery for a long time.

PHP FTW!

It's not too hard to learn, I actually know a decent bit of it at the moment, but not enough to code a webpage :P I actually need to get cracking on it since I'm speaking of it...

If you're learning PHP, you will have to also learn mysql. They are married. PHP does the work and mysql provides the db backend with the data PHP uses. But PHP can't do it all, you will need some scripting.

If you're going to learn Jquery, you will want to know javascript first. Jquery is a library for developing javascript. You will want to know what you are developing before you start trying to develop it

I would learn PHP, but back it up by learning mysql at the same time. Then after that start learning javascript so you can then learn Jquery

Okay guys I am thinking about learning. Most of the stuff from w3schools.com does anybody know if that's a reliable source?
