Summary

If you have never used PHP before, I think you'll find it a delightfully easy language to learn. As a long-time C/C++ programmer, I found PHP very familiar when I first started to explore the language. (Don't let that scare you off if you aren't a fan of CPHP is much easier to learn than C.)

One of the things I like most about developing with PHP is the fact that all error messages appear in-line, right inside my web browser. This feature makes debugging easy.

PHP and PostgreSQL combine with your web server to create a system that delivers dynamic content to your users.
