When I was about to move to NYC in mid-2000 I spoke with a head hunter 
just before the bubble burst and asked him what the hot technologies were. 
 He told me that he had just placed two PHP developers to the highest 
paying jobs he'd ever arranged. 

That was the first I ever heard of PHP and bought my first book a few 
hours later.  :)
