Re: [PHP] Learning PHP ... online courses?
A few months back I signed up for the O'Reilly Safari Bookshelf. For about $20 a month you can check out up to 10 books to read online (put them on your bookshelf). Too many times I've bought a book and found only one or two chapters helpful. Or bought a book for a specific chapter. Now I can just read the chapters I need online. If I find the whole book helpful, I'll buy it. O'Reilly provides discounts on books for bookshelf subscribers. Something to look into if you plan on learning on a lot, especially on different subjects. That said, I learned PHP by reading "PHP and MySQL Web Development" from SAMS. I don't know if it's been updated for PHP5. Someone else mentioned php architect magazine. I think that's and excellent resource. You can just subscribe to the PDF version if you want to save some money. On May 23, 2005, at 3:45 PM, Bill McEachran wrote: I'm just learning PHP.

The Manual is great - but most people seem to get the hang of PHP faster if they Watch people in action - then move onto reading the Manual... Chris Shifflett's link (where he's an Instructor) is great too (phparch.com)...

_www.Lynda.com_ (http://www.Lynda.com) has a new Video tutorial... about 9 1/2 hours long. Best one I've found for the price would be _www.VTC.com_ (http://www.VTC.com) which is $30 a month and you can get like 25 total hours of PHP and MySQL... They're good for Beginners - then check out books like Advanced PHP for Web Professionals. Hope this helps! - Clint
