Okay ranters, I'm asking for your help.

I'm currently an IT Technician at a facility. I am doing this part time while finishing up my last year of college. I graduate in April of 2017. I just received a job offer to do Web Development part time in the same city. I'm not sure if they will work with my schedule, but they say they will. I will need to learn PHP, because I haven't used it yet, but learning a new language is easy for me. I'm done with most of the difficult classes in my CS program, but I will need some time devoted to study. I'm unsure whether the job is a golden opportunity or if I'm going to screw myself over and be unable to graduate. What do you guys think?

    What languages do you know already? Php is OOP, and all OOP languages are more or less the same, and easy to pick up. Personally, it sounds like a golden oppression as long as they stick to their word about working around your schedule.

    @FelisPhasma I know Python, C++, Java, and C# pretty well.

    PHP is pretty easy , just get acquainted to the syntax that's all considering you worked with OOP programming languages.

    @skonteam Yeah I mean I picked up C# no problem after having learned Java in one of my classes.

    @Trey50Daniel Ah, well then php should be a breeze. The major difference is that you don't need to declare the type of a variable, and all variables have a "$" at the beginning of them. There are a lot of built in functions, so of course don't feel nervous about googling. Also, unlike other languages, php is amazingly well documented. Good luck!

    @FelisPhasma We'll thanks man. Yeah I've glanced at it, but I never really had the urge to learn it. Maybe this is a sign. Lol

    Coming from a PHP Dev, it's pretty easy once you get the syntax down. Just Google/php.net anything and you should be sorted!

    I'm really considering taking the job. I just have to consult with my wife. Lol
