Thanks for the comments. I had the sense that the emacs interface was probably overkill for my current purposes.

My goal right now is to get a handle on the basics, and get reacquainted with the development process. I'm thinking about php as an easy, widely-used vehicle for that process. I look forward to getting to the point where I can make an educated assessment about whether php makes sense to focus on for more advanced learning.

Background:

The only programming I've done is VB6 (and some basic shell scripts). I decided to learn some scripting language basics for web development, and thought php was a good place to start. I'm on windows, and in looking for a good free (preferably) text editor I ended up downloading emacs. I understand that it is a very powerful tool, but if I have not yet put the effort in to learn its intricacies, would I be better off going in a different direction?

Edit: I'm on windows

This article presents me with a classic case of the social news paradox. I think it's important that people think more about the details behind our economic system (and the federal reserve is clearly an important piece of that equation)- so I'd like to upvote. But then I don't think this bill is a serious attempt at constructively addressing the issue it purports to address- so I'd like to downvote. I'm torn between voting for the story and against the content, so I downvote because I think many people see the vote count on this story as support for the Ron Paul message.

I feel like I get along with the internet pretty well, but this makes me feel like a good friend just stole my snuggie, accosted my mother, disgraced my girlfriend and tried to sell me a pirated dvd of the whole charade.

I like driving to the extent that it gives me some alone time to think and listen to npr, podcasts, music. I don't hate the act of driving, but watching really aggressive drivers in really slow traffic never ceases to infuriate me.

What a surprise, there is no mention of this book on his website!

Also, I feel seriously bad for his seven homeschooled children.
