Best Gitter channels: PHP
PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. Created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page.
The strengths of PHP are its pragmatic APIs, good documentation, and easy deployment. However, many developers ask themselves whether PHP is still worth learning today due to the inconsistencies in its design.
According to W3Tech Web Technology Surveys, PHP is used by 82.2% of all the websites whose server-side programming language we know, and learning it could surely help you to know more about programming in general.
