Mchl Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Perhaps you should start with something smaller like a private website or blog? Sites like Facebook or MySpace use several advanced technologies that are simply out of reach of many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignace Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 There are no books or tutorials (?) out there that teach you how to write a Facebook clone simply because any novice would not be able to comprehend most (if not all) taught stuff.

loukin Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 I really am not looking for a clone. I would like to learn how to program login pages and how sessions work related to a social networking site and more of the security side of the page. I am running a php server at home and would like to just learn php in a way I maybe familiar. If this is not the best route to take can you give me advice on where to start and maybe a book(s) that helped you. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 You need to learn the language first, before you start attempting to write any applications. There’s a good free book in my signature that if read from start to finish should probably provide you with a good base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haraldur1234 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Since you guys are looking for books, id reccomend the "PHP and MySQL web development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
