What programming language do you want to learn?

[Shawn Gossman]

I'd like to learn PHP and MySQL better.

I'd like to learn enough to make my own blog software.

How about you and why?

I've been meaning to learn C# so I can try to program my own games.
I already know enough of PHP/MySQL though so it's something I guess.

Could you do anything game-wise with PHP?
I'd love to do something with HTML5. Isn't it game friendly?

I've only ever seen text adventures, or visual novel style games with the logic running on PHP and visuals on HTML.

You can *technically* do games in HTML, but you'd need javascript (HTML Game Example) or a framework (Phaser - A fast, fun and free open source HTML5 game framework)

I tried to make a text-based game once. All HTML though, nothing that fancy.

I've always wanted to learn PHP and MySQL to make my own blogging software. Just to do it. Not really to do anything with it.

I just need to sit down and try to learn it!

I'd be willing to help! Just ask away!
For tutorials, I would suggest not learning from random sites you might find on Google, but learn from the documentation of your framework of choice. I am biased towards CodeIgniter for its simplicity and generally small size.

They even have a tutorial for creating your own news system!

Thanks for that! I am going to check it out.

I was doing Code Academy a long time ago but it wasn't the best.

I'm sure features have changed since then, though.
