I apologise in advance for the snarky comment, but it seems you have not reached solid foundations yet :-)

I don't understand this push against PHP. PHP is a language that runs under significant part of the internet. Modern PHP is fast and efficient. I don't think it have more problems than so popular recently JS and in many cases, PHP with framework i better solution for webdev than ROR or Django.

If you find yourself starting a statement with "I apologise [sic] in advance" then maybe consider not posting it.

That is excellent advice!

I just want to mention that the "[sic]" is not necessary. "Apologise" may be uncommon in the US and Canada, but it is the preferred spelling outside North America.

I fear you missed the part where I said "start easy". It's all about small goals and achievable victories. :)
