Ask HN: Learning PHP
Could you please share good resources for PHP video talks, great tutorials for Learning PHP. There seem to be too many tutorials on PHP but most of them are either solving a problem or serving google ads.
Unlike python/ROR there seems to be dearth of good PHP talks from experts.
Could you please share your best bookmarks for learning Good PHP, best practices, tools and tricks and video tutorials.
- colinsidoti 16y agoFor me, it has always been best to learn by doing. Think of something you want to build and go for it. You'll certainly make mistakes but don't worry about it; the web is pretty forgiving on a small scale. When you need general help, try asking a question on SitePoint. There's StackOverflow too, but I feel like SitePoint has more a learning environment while StackOverflow is just a place to get answers. With every project you complete, you'll discover new and better ways to do things. Just be open about asking questions and showing your code. If you ever find yourself thinking there's a better way to something, there probably is, so go ahead and make a thread on SitePoint. To prove I'm not making all this up (assuming this link works), this is all of the threads I've made on SitePoint in ascending order: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/search.php?searchid=4499370 http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/search.php?searchid=4499370 . Added disclaimer: In October 2005 I was 14, so excuse any poor writing in those posts
- colinsidoti 16y agoMeh, vBulletin isn't going to let me get a link that works for everyone. If you have an account on SitePoint just search threads by e39m5 and sort in ascending order. Sorry about that.
