Php Or Java by prodam(op):
Hello Programmers, I am facing challenges deciding on an issue.

Which of the following two languages should I learn: Java or Php. I do have a faint knowledge of java coupled with an appreciation of html .

I think you shud ask yourself exactly where your interest lies in. Either Web or Desktop applications.

Now Java does both desktop (standalone) applications and also has a Server-side platform to deploy software over the internet.
PHP is used solely over the internet to develop web applications. PHP can also do desktop but many a people would advise you against it.

Personally, i'd say go for java because you can run code anyware. (In the real sense of the word.)
But do what you feel comes naturally to you. And try not to know everything about everything. >> it's one thing about everything and everything about one smiley

Thats right, except you really need to tinker with low level stuff, C++ is too unproductive and outmoded. Both C# and Java currently compete with C++ for raw performance.
PHP and Python are also being outclassed by Ruby. PHP also has a reputation for insecurity.
