I started with PHP as my programming language of choice. At the time it seemed like a good idea, the world was just starting to go "Cloud" crazy and PHP was an artisan type language i.e. had some age behind it. I do not regret it at all, sometimes I think maybe I should have chose a younger language such as Ruby or NodeJS but those thoughts leave quickly when you realise PHP does everything you need it to.

Plus PHP has helped me move onto the OOP languages such as Java for Android Dev.
