<p>I’m not even sure if it’s the right forum but…
One of the classes at my school teaches this. How useful is this though at like job and stuff? Or is it useful only if you’re interested in making your own website?</p>
<p>A familiarity with php/mysql would be an asset for jobs in the field of web development.
If you’re interested in chemical engineering, it may be a waste of time.</p>
<p>Yeah, only good for web development. Anything else is just kind of worthless. I wouldn’t really make an effort to learn it unless you’ll be focusing on object-oriented PHP and learning to create actual applications or site engines or something, but you’d be better off learning Java instead.</p>
