I like the general idea of this, but think that it is nearly useless in its current form. It's way too superficial. To teach newbies how to do things right it doesn't suffice to link to a few resources and hope that they'll read them (hint: they won't). Instead one needs more concrete code examples, etc. Which would obviously be too much for one page :)
- codeguy 14y agoI agree. It's very much in a v1.0 form right now. Once I move over to GitHub Pages, I hope to add more links to tutorials and code samples without bloating the document itself.
- ericd 14y agoI think it offers a great starting point, though, and even though I've worked in PHP for a few years, I filled in a couple gaps in my knowledge. Thanks very much.

- nichodges 14y agoAs someone who taught themselves enough PHP to get by over the last 7-8 years, this is brilliant. I don't spend every day keeping up with the latest developments in PHP, but I know in that time the techniques I'm using must be out of date. I've learnt JQuery and Python lately, but my Swiss army knife is still PHP. So this has already fixed a lot of incorrect techniques I've been suing in a side project.
