Writing a WordPress plugin might be a good initial goal for you. It's been a while since I wrote one, but it's fairly easy if I remember right. Though nothing's perfectly easy when you're just getting started. If you're going to start with a little PHP -- or regardless of the language you start with -- I would go to a physical bookstore, look through some books until you find something that makes sense to you, buy it, and then work up to writing a WordPress plugin (if you go PHP). Like I said, ultimately I think python may be a cut above PHP, but I think it would be a steep climb for various reasons not related to the language itself, and you wouldn't get much satisfaction for a while. And it wouldn't help you do custom work in WordPress, of course. If you do want to try Python at some point, I'd urge you to install Ubuntu (linux) on your computer and get comfortable with that first. It's much easier to do Python work in linux. Plus, it's a great operating system. I tried working with python on Windows XP for a long time, and that slowed me down a lot. For PHP, I don't think the operating system matters quite as much. If you want to do PHP in OSX, get XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html -Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
