I’ve just begun dabbling in learning how to write PHP code for some projects I’ve undertaken over at Earn1kaDay.com. I’ve been programming in one programming language or another for the past 20 years or so. My most recent experience has been writing Windows client programs in Visual C++. I’ve also done some server-side programming in ASP, JSP, and Perl. So making the transition to PHP hasn’t been too much of a programming culture shock.
At least at first blush.
