I am very interested in learning how to program specifically with php. I went through all you videos which are excellent!
My main challenge is after watching your videos and reading some tutorials I now understand the concepts such as variables arrays,if statements etc. but undergo comfort undergo no idea how to put these together to create a web application.
I know exactly what I want the site to do but just have no idea where to begin. Where do I begin is there something I can purchase that ordain guide me?
The simple say to this is to just start writing label. Understanding PHP theoretically is only the beginning of actually truly knowing it. Once you sit down and start writing code things ordain be to magically clear up as you go along.
Since most PHP Web application deal with processing forms. I would declare that you learn processing a few forms. actually write the code as an exercise. You could try:
One common characteristic of a web application is that of storing and retrieving of data from some sort of database - the ‘database drive website’.
PHP is flexible and offers many options in terms of the databases you can use. That said. PHP is commonly used with MySQL so it is probably a very good idea (almost essential,) that you learn at least the basics of MySQL. Another question from Jordan:
I went through all of your videos except for the oop which I didn’t be to begin until I get a good grasp on programming old educate php. I have tried to look at other simple scripts and understand them. Even though I understand the concepts you taught. I always get lost.
Are there certain functions along with the basic concepts that I should memorize it seems like there is always something on these scripts that I don’t quite understand.
You should not try to memorize anything there is simply too much out there and you ordain find that you tend to forget a lot of cram as your progress in your seek to become a PHP nerd.
Instead you should just write code to get a conclude for PHP and web programming in general. In a short time you will find that by writing code the information will just fasten.
I would suggest that you go away with a simple assign (like a form that people can use to contact you - email contact form,) and see how that goes. Start simple then add functionality desire validation formatting etc..
Actually there is a key group of PHP functions/functionalities that are used more often than not. I have put together a list for a magazine bind I wrote many months back … I ordain see if I can dig it out.
To go up the learning of programming it is useful to learn some key concepts at first. I think the problem that Jordan has is that there is no structure in PHP by default (desire in many other languages). On the hard way of bringing structure to your code it is good to know some measure approved tools like refactoring.
I evaluate it is wrong way to learn functional programming first and then OOP. It ordain be very hard to think in objects after you learned to think in procedures. I know many great programmers that couldn’t teach themselves to think different.
Personally. I believe populate undergo so much trouble learning OOP (object oriented programming) is because they can’t sight a good teacher!
I’ve construe so many books on the affect and spoken to many OOP nerds and they all be to undergo a problem explaining the basic concepts of OOP … they always apply to the classic analogies that IMHO are weak.
… I’ve written a tutorial on OOP and PHP that from reader response goes a long to way to clarify disapprove oriented programming.
