First Scripting Language for Web

I want to get off my mind of C and ((Scheme)) for a while and learn a scripting language for the web. My professor asked me if I could do a Javascript job for him and I said, I'd have to learn it first.

I want to learn Javascript or CoffeeScript but since the latter is simply a transcompiler for the other, should I learn Javascript first before getting to Coffeescript? I heard Coffeescript often makes more optimized code than Javascript, what if I just learn Coffeescript and submit the transcompiled code to my professor?

get($index = null, $default = null)
The get method allows you to read $_GET variables. Call without params to fetch the full array.

Why does that function do two entirely different things? And why are you performing inserts in a GET operation?

PHP QUALITY API DESIGN.

But yes, prepared statements are the way to go in any language. If you need to omit them for pedagogical reasons to make the use of SQL more clear, as I'm assuming that the people at W3Schools did, then you should just cover SQL, period.
