Henry's First Blog Post

Submitted by Henry on Sat, 05/17/2008 - 11:32.

Well, this is my first blog post. I'm going to be very cliche now...

Hello world!

There we go, got that out of my system. I hope to post some of my progress with PHP and MySQL here, and maybe a bit of C++ and Python. Now for a quick explination of all those...

PHP: PHP is what's called a web scripting language. PHP is used in most professional webpages, in order to make them do more than just display images and text, but instead to handle creating cool interactive websites.

MySQL: MySQL is a database software which is used to store data such as usernames and passwords. MySQL is able to be "paired" with PHP, in order to create something like, say an address book which can be edited and viewed from a webpage.

C++: C++ is a programming lanuge used to develop most of the games you play (offline games, such as "Halo"). C++ is also used to create many office suites. C++ can be used for quite a few things, and is pretty complicated.

Python: Python is a programming language that can do, in my opinion, just about anything. It's pretty simple to start out, and can be used in both web development and application development. It's quite fun. On a side note, Python is actually named after Monty Python, which makes it all the more cool.

 

Here are some links to the webpages of PHP, MySQL, C++, and Python:
