<p>I started coding in 2007 to build a website for a Tae Kwon-Do School I used to train at.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It was written with HTML and CSS and only contained a few small pages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When I wanted to add more dynamic content, such as news articles and events, I started to expand and started to use PHP and MySQL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>PHP was a great first programming language for me (ignoring HTML and CSS), and it's gone through so many improvements since 2007, as well as the PHP content management systems and frameworks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I think a lot of new coders only learn or are taught JavaScript and I can understand why if they've only got a short time, such as on a bootcamp, but I also think there is a benefit to learning another language - such as PHP.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>PHP has Composer to manage dependencies, various robust content management systems and frameworks, PHPUnit and Pest for automated testing, PHPStan and Psalm for static analysis, and much more.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'd definitely recommend taking a look at PHP if you haven't already.</p>
