learn PHP

I just got my site to connect to my database and it spit out the correct info. I also made my first counter. These are tiny things but I get really excited to see any progress at all.

Okay, now I have to learn this for real. I have a job building a site with PHP. I figured that this would motivate me. It is also making me feel a little bit overwhelmed. My plan is to use php.net and buy “Sam’s Teach Yourself PHP”.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to build a photo slideshow using php? I want to know if that’s a dead end before I spend too much time looking for the code to do it.

This is the perfect time for me to get started on this goal. I want to redo my portfolio site and implement php. I want to dedicate every Friday to spending some time on this.

I’d like to start doing this in the winter when it is bla outside. I should do some research and see if I can take a class or a weekend seminar.
