I've only just started learning PHP but the more I learn the more I realize how much it rocks (especially with mySQL) and wonder why I pushed off learning it for so long.
Sorry, totally random!!!  |

It's a nice, easy to learn language and is useful for many projects which require rapid development. It doesn't have some of the nice features you can find in Ruby or Python (which are becoming popular these days, especially Ruby with it's Rails framework), but it does the job most of the time.
Not my personal favorite scripting language  Huge support on the web makes it worth it though  |

I've been looking into Python - and I like what I see. I was able to code up an OpenGL program in an hour when in C++ it would have taken a day...

The program I wrote or the thing I used to write it?
The program was a random test program that drew a texture mapped box and an array of points, you could rotate the view and change the colour of the points with a Tk button.
The OpenGL binding is PyOpenGL:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/
It works great although you need to install about half a dozen other python packages that it relies on.

Python is nice - it combines the platform independence of JAVA with the object orientation features of C++, with the unfussiness of a scripting language like PHP.
It is a sort-of interpreted language, in that it behaves like it is interpreted while bits of it are compiled to bytecode behind the scenes.
It comes with lots of useful language constructs built in, can be used to write shell tools very quickly and in a cross platform way. You cxan write fully fledged GUI applications with it too since it comes with the Tkinter set of GUI widgets. You can write a hello world GUI program in three lines of nice python code, or one line of nasty python code...
The type system is a lot like PHPs in that you can assign anything you want to a variable and change what type of thing is in it at will - you don't need to declare them in advance.

And since it's become one of the most popular languages for the web, internet help is everywhere. I also found that a lot of places looking for web designers and what not require that you know php and mysql.

That was the first language I ever learned (short of programming on a TI-82 calculator). It's a good language, but I agree, web languages are more fun...but correct me if I'm wrong, can't you code ASP in c++.
I'm not advanced enough to be using triggers and events yet, though what I've been able to do with a good combination of PHP and javascript has impressed me, so I'm sure I'll get to that level soon. Hopefully hosting services will be upgrading to v5 by then (course how fast I push myself to learn things that might be in two weeks, so doubtful). |

You can code ASP.NET in any of the .NET languages I believe, C++, C#, J#, VB....
