I agree.

I use .php for most (really all) of my current websites. I however have to go to HotScripts.com to get scripts as I do not understand PHP well enough to create a website from scratch. Though, I tend to edit the scripts to my liking and it seems to be somewhat simple to do (like HTML), but I would like to get more involved with it and do more advanced PHP programming to create more dynamic and robust websites of my own without relying on other people creations.
I honestly do not know the difference between PHP, ASP, CGI or any of the other web programming languages, I just tend to purchase PHP scripts as they seem to have the most inventory available, so it seems to be the web programming language of choice so that is why I decided I'll learn that one.
Do you think there is a better, easier, or more robust web programming language which a newbie like myself should learn, first? Please advise.
Some may get upset
but I use PHP, MySQL, and IIS together on Windows 2003. I prefer IIS over Apache as I am a Windows person myself, but I have used Apache/Linux and open source many times -- but Windows is my preference. Though, I prefer .php over .asp -- no real reason why except that I am more familar with PHP through hotscripts.
