NETTUTS.com has posted their top ten list of some of the largest milestones in web development - one of which is the release of PHP.

Some believe the progression of the great World Wide Web to be a travesty, others a godsend. Regardless, the Internet has evolved over the past few decades, and is in many ways better for the web developer. New technologies have come about that have made web development much easier to get started in, and ultimately more fun.

Here's a few from their list:

• Linus Torvalds Creates the Linux Kernel
• The Open Source Movement Officially Starts
• PayPal is Founded
• Firefox is Released
• and, of course, PHP is Released by Rasmus Lerdorf
