trq Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think you will find most PHP programmers are self taught. There is a poll on the subject in the polls board. Personally, I say get a good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just as Thorpe said, I would like to add that you SHOULD learn basic programming fundamentals with CS degree or similar and then use that knowledge in any language by just changing up the syntax and learning some new language dependent functions....

steelmanronald06 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Unfortunatly, college doesn't really teach programming languages. they teach the math and logic so that you can easily pick up any language you choose. the one exception is that you capstone is normally a programming project so most colleges will offer a single 2 semester class that covers the language your capstone will be in. The downside is that most colleges only teach C++, Java, or Visual Basic .NET. Like the above people suggest, pick up a good book. If you want to pay money, find some programmers in your area and contact them about mentoring. It shouldn't be to hard for you to meet once or twice a week and go over some things that you need to learn PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent123456 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies. I am self taught as well I learned VB as my first programming language in College. I wasn't into MS stuff. Not portable among other things. I taught myself PHP over time I never learn a lot about OOP programming. MYSQL came with PHP so that is the Database that I picked up. Your right good books have been helping me I checked out the sticky about books, good stuff in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
