I already know some html and CSS . Should I consider stopping learning Flex getting into PHP and coming back to Flex 3 again? The statement below is the recommendation of a friend programmer.
"I'm a little curious why you're jumping straight into advanced stuff and skipping the basics completely. Start with HTML and CSS. Those are literally the building blocks of the web. If you don't know them, it doesn't really matter if you understand OOP, because you'll never be able to format the output for the web. Then I'd move on to something like PHP... get a good solid grounding in basic programming logic used on the web. THEN jump into ActionScript/Flash programming and Flex." You're kind of starting at the wrong end of the progression
