Ivan Ivković Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't know what topic this goes to. I would like to ask all you pros to evaluate if this. I was on a 3months lasting PHP/MySQL course. It took me around 4 months to kick it in and practice with OOP. Learned a bit of CSS, basic Javascript, now learning Zend Framework, and jQuery. 9months practice after course. Is this good for the timespan of my learning? 1 year Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258621-am-i-good-for-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is what good? We have no way of knowing what your actually capable of, but judging by this topic you have a long long way to go before you could state you understand OOP.

AyKay47 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It really depends on how much of the information that you have "learned" you actually understand and are confident using, and yes I agree with thorpe regarding the topic you posted in, which I commented on before I saw this thread. All that we have to base your knowledge off of is posts on this forum, seems like you have a ways to go. My advice would be instead of trying to cram as many languages in as you can, focus on becoming proficient in each language one at a time. Once you feel that you have a firm understanding of one, move on to the next.

Ivan Ivković Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wo PHP IS my priority, others are like yay sum more. By good I mean I've read some guys making posts about them mastering all PHP in 4 weeks, that kind bummed me out so like, am I a slow learner? I may not find a job that way? It took me to make some (complex for me) CMS-s right in a month or more.

trq Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have been programming for about 10 years and with PHP for about 6 and would consider myself a decent programmer. When I started my new job about 12 months ago I was completely blown away by the standards and felt pretty well out of my league. No one has mastered PHP in 4 weeks.

Philip Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have been programming for about 10 years and with PHP for about 6 and would consider myself a decent programmer. When I started my new job about 12 months ago I was completely blown away by the standards and felt pretty well out of my league. Yup, I have been in that boat too. I've been programming for a good 8 or so years and while I don't consider myself a noobie, with the exception of specifics related to my industry, I wouldn't consider myself an expert either. This is a progression that you'll always be learning, and like thorpe said, one you definitely won't have mastered within a month.
