Getting started with PHP

Wednesday May 31, 2006
Learning PHP can be an overwhelming experience, but it doesn't have to be. Learning a sturdy base of PHP skills is actually not as challenging as you might think. Once you have this base knowledge, it is easy to expand upon to make PHP do whatever you need for your site. Just relax and read through our tutorial - don't worry its in easy to swallow bites. Before you know it, PHP will be second nature :)

There are some PHP Screencast Tutorials at TheWebLessons.com. The Getting Started With PHP lesson is very good.

I don’t think that learning PHP is too overwhelming. I just recently began learning it by developing a site called http://www.portlandcouponfinder.com. It took me about a month and a half to build and I learned an awful lot during that time. So for anyone wanting to learn PHP, look at Angela’s tutorials and jump in! It’s fun along the way!
