say
if you had a good foundation in that, learning PHP will be a breeze.

Actually PHP is a procedural language with OOP features and extensions.

Does anyone know the creator or where "Hello World" came from?

"Hello World" has its genesis in the first world-wide network, ham
radio. RDCBV shows that hams were also computer tinkerers or vise-versa
and that the computer's first communication should be "hello world" just
as would be the custom for a ham.
