i have not used AJAX, nor have I attempted to learn it, but this seems like fun. I will help build AJAXFreaks. I might learn a bit and decide to use it in my websites.

PostgreSQL is a database, just like MySQL or any of the others. It has a few features that MySQL dosn't, and is missing a few that MySQL does. It depends on the user and what he/she wishes to learn. All databases are easy to learn, you merely have to decide which you like best. Really just user preference. YAY! I am the second poster here!

I was just saying, programming has always been passed around as a male "art" in my area. Everyone says that only men program, and I began wondering. I have never met a female programmer, and I wanted to know how many exist.

So I stand by my statement. Not a single female has posted on here. This is crazy. I can't believe it. I would LOVE to meet a female programmer. I have a girlfriend so it is not on a sexual note. I would just love to meet one.

If you want up-to-date Apache, Mysql, and PHP all configured for you, then I have the place for you. Most programmers like to do it themselves, but there is many problems with that. When you do apache by itself you have to run that stupid console as an open window unless your smart enough to fix it to run in back ground. With Wamp5 it does it all for you automaticaly. Really easy to use and you can still edit your php.ini and your httpd.conf files after the easy wizard installs and configures them for you. No more hassle with trying to get it all working together. The url is: http://www.wampserver.com (french version) http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php (english version) This should prevent from all the noobies asking questions because they are to lazy to do it themselves.

Are you a male or female programmer? Teen or Adult. I have never met other teen programers nor female programmers. After voting, add a bit of info about yourself like I have below: ***************************** My name is Ronald Steelman. I first started programming when I was 14 years old and I am now 18. I don't know as much as I would like, I never will, but I learn more everyday. I am a male of course.

You dont NEED to learn C to use PHP. In fact, both are pretty different. Trust me, just go straight to PHP. It will save you about two years work.

Since people always ask for books to help with php/mysql, i am going to pin this so everyone wil see it and no one will have to keep asking the same question. So just add the books to the list that you think are good.
