I don't have any formal schooling about programming...do you think it's possible for me to learn by myself?

Daniel · Jun 24, 2008

Definitely.

I've learned easily enough via the Internet and all classes near me are horribly over priced. ($800 for 20 hrs... that works to $40/hr, with 30 students per class is $1200/hr they're making off us!)

A good suggestion is get a nice PHP tool that helps you develop, it's worth it's weight in gold. Especially if it has a 'beautify' button!

I would recommend www.phpdesigner.dk - It has a trial if you need to test it.

I usually recommend "php for dummies". It is a quick and BS free book. Then just go from there. It teaches the basics "the right way". Then work up to cookbooks, xml, regex, etc. But a firm foundation is most important.

Is it free?

Thanks

Nope, is cheap though. You can freely download the E-Book from Mininova.Org using bittorrent. Make sure to get php5 though.

I would recommend against 'PHP for Dummies' (especially via Bittorrent.) - I had a flick through it at my local bookstore and it seemed to teach fairly bad standards.

I looked through just a chapter or two and saw continous references to arrays like so:
$array[key] and (from what I read) didn't mention data validation at all.
