[QUOTE="Heaplink, post: 223310, member: 8966"] Learning really depends on people. Some people - like me - can watch a video and/or read a small tutorial or other open-source projects to understand the idea of the language. Then there's people - like a good friend of mine - who read a whole book and then know the whole aspect of a language. If you are the kind who like to learn by code (e.g. hate reading stories) I recommend you first off to look at [URL='http://www.youtube.com/user/phpacademy']phpacademy[/URL] (watch the first videos explaining PHP itself and the language). Then when you've got a hang of the language it's a good idea to get on sites like [URL='http://github.com']Github[/URL] and check out other PHP projects and go through their source code. If there's a php function you don't understand you can easily look it up on the [URL='http://php.net']PHP documentation[/URL] - also some of the comments below each doc is helpful sometimes. When you've got a hang of that and tried to write your own small scripts, next step is to look at the architecture of your code. You can look at OOP (Object Oriented Programming) and the MVC framework (Model-View-Controller) + many more. I know this became a little long, bare with me :-) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
