I'm just too anxious to learn PHP

[kelliethile]

Hello all.

 

I'm Kellie. I'm currently in the process of doing a Junior Project - it's a To-Do list management tool using PHP/MySQL.

My advisor thinks it is not sophisticate at all when compared to doing an Iphone App., but you gotta start from somewhere, you know?

 

So yes, I'm the biggest newbie when it comes to PHP haha. I got the list to work, still working on the deleting function!

I think when I'm done, I will post it up here.

 

Besides being super anxious to learn PHP, I have other hobbies like going to the movies (I hate hate chick flicks) and cook new recipes.

I also enjoy being a broke college student.

 

 

Anyone know a good site to learn PHP REALLY FAST? OR a good PHP book?

I've read like 2 so far, with code examples.

 

 

Thanks guys! CYA

 

Tell me a little about yourself.

To be honest, your best bet for learning is doing.  I learned most of what I know of PHP by dabbling in small projects and experiments and interacting with people here.

 

Tutorial sites often go over the how, but not necessarily the why.  Both books and tutorial sites tend to gloss over or ignore best practices (although there are exceptions).  There's nothing like getting feedback and criticism from professionals, which many of us here are.
