Beginner programming The most tangled is to learn what language, choose a good language is a very important problem. I have been learning PHP for many years, today to explain some of the advantages of PHP, tell you the reason to learn PHP, to strengthen your confidence in learning PHP.

More advantages welcome you to add a message, so that more people understand, learning PHP.

The following is the PHP logo

Main reasons:

Easy, suitable for fast learning, low requirements for development environments (many integration environments are available)

There are many expansion libraries, easy to develop a lot of forums, the developer community for learning communication

Security and Stability executable system command to do system monitoring

Can write VC-like desktop-level applications (PHP GTK)

Can write Android app (PHP for Android), not yet mature

1.php for Web development:

First of all, PHP is currently the most mainstream use of web application development.

In web development, it was originally developed using CGI languages such as C or Perl, and later developed with ASP,PHP4 to today's C #, ASP.NET,JSP,PHP5 era, because. NET can not run across platforms, so only Java EE (JSP is a technology in Java EE) and lamp (linux,apache,mysql,php) Two scenarios, PHP for the advantages of web development I would like to enumerate some:

The use of a wide range of major web sites are used to PHP, so learn PHP work prospects, and I learned PHP with the people have found a good job

There are many templates available for PHP to learn from (thanks to its open source and share), there are relatively few templates in other languages.

Superior performance (relative to C and assembly language performance is poor)

High development efficiency, simple procedure

The output control is flexible and can be nested with HTML

Enables templating, separation of logic and user interface

Can be run on platforms such as Linux,windows,unix,os (cross-platform operation)

Can run on Web servers such as Apache,iis,nginx (almost all server environments supported)

Support for virtually any major database, such as Mysql,oracle,sql server

Full support for object-oriented and process-oriented

Inline Zend acceleration for fast and stable performance

Rich built-in functions, easy to develop

Perfect support for regular expressions

Support Common MVC Framework Development

2.php for development:

The popularity of the open platform makes PHP more important, the current open platform perfectly supports PHP programs, and is now officially issued a manual, very convenient.

PHP for Enterprise-level development:

Many financial industries at home and abroad, such as the use of PHP development system platform, in recent years, ibm,inter and other companies for PHP and commercial companies Zend invested a lot of support, and get Oracle, Microsoft and other companies to address.

3.php for the client user interface:

Use the PHP GTK class to develop desktop-level applications (which I have not used, but I know this feature).

4.php is available for Android development:

Java has always been the main language of Android development, PHP for Android's appearance is expected to let PHP for Android development, some time ago I personally used PHP to write the Android program, the basic features are nearly implemented, but packaged into the APK file release is still difficult, there are some online users of the method, But the official is not available for the time being (and will certainly be there in the near future).

5. Development environment:

There are many integrated environments available on the Web for early development learning, such as the PHP Programmer Toolkit, which can be installed with one click.

Pre-study can apply to use Sina SAE and Baidu's Bae, are free, easy to use.

Programming tools do not require special tools, even the system comes with Notepad, but it is not recommended, it is recommended to choose a lightweight text editor, I have been using notpad++.
