I originally started programming in Pascal, which I learned in a college course, but then I stopped taking classes for a while. In 2000, I started working for a company where I started using perl, PHP, and C/C++. I found that while I can understand the flow of a C/C++ program, I couldn't write a program in it. I found that PHP was fairly simple to understand, and didn't have any problems with it. And saving the best for last, perl is easy to understand (unless you are trying to figure out one of Erudil's obfu's) and is just a fun language to play with.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
