   I finally finished reading...

   HTML For People - Blake Watson:

   I'd love to see how it works for the target audience, but as best as I can judge it looks like a great course!

   I think Simple.CSS is a huge aid here. And interesting that it (eventually) teaches the infamous PHP, in a way that makes it seem appealing to me.

     @alcinnz I accidentally got back into PHP a bit, after having done mostly Rust, Go and Python for a couple of years.

     It's.. not really that bad? Lots of new developments in the language itself. Better performance when coupled with something like FrankenPHP & running persistently, so your whole app doesn't have to be loaded for every request.

     Poking around with Laravel 11 now, and liking the opinionated solutions. For internal dashboards etc, the web part itself isn't what needs to be fast.

     alcinnz repeated this.

     @jwarlander @alcinnz Personally I like PHP and I find it to be a really accessible language for beginners.

     Laravel is imho, the lesser of all evils in the PHP world, really fun to work with, a fairly steep learning curve, but once you were up and running it brought the focus onto actual code.

     I particularly enjoyed the TALL stack.
