I'm not after trying to become a paid programmer, meaning writing stuff for others, but just for my own uses. I'm wondering for those of you that have self taught yourself how did you do it? I've tried teaching myself PHP in the past by book but could just never stick with it.

I'm wanting to start with java script, because I need it for a project I'm wanting to do. Then I want to lean PHP. Anyone have any good suggestions, for maybe some video tutorials that aren't boring as hell?
PHP is great. its simple and easy to learn. i suggest stick with one.

also once you learn php, you will find javascript and perl very similar looking.

i strongly recommend learning php first.

if not, start with something like BASIC, to help you nail down the concepts. once you get the core concepts, everything else is mere extensions and application of the core concepts.
