None, learn C and install Gentoo.

>>57512276
Thanks for the hot tip, but I already know C.

>>57512330
Sounds like you still need to install Gentoo

Nothing about PHP is worth reading, read about good languages like Python, C & Ruby, or at least mediocre languages like Java & Javascript.

What's your recommended way to write a secure website with a user system then?

>>57512500
Rails
ASP
Basically anything that isn't PHP

>>57512500
>>57512527
Add to that node.js & django, they're quite good.

>>57512527
To add to this (and >>57512555) PHP may be worth learning just so you appreciate how shit it is, and learn what not to do. In a similar way to learning C++.

php's website and stackexchange

You can create good website with any language.
For example, php-drupal

>>57512725
i set bashrc aliases to use Cyrillic letters for almost everything i type in terminal, am i retarded?

vim -> вим
sudo pacman -S something -> инcтaлиpaј something
yaourt -S something -> ayp-и something
shutdown -h 10 -> yгacи 10

OP here. So why (in your opinion) should I not use PHP?

Matt Zandstra
PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice
The 5th edition should come out soon.
It's maybe too much if you're new to programming, but it teaches good practices that are useful outside of PHP.

I'm not adding anything to that retarded "Lang X is better than Lang Y" argument.

<?php 
    echo "Hello, 4chan!";
?>
