The Ultimate Guide to Learning PHP
The Ultimate Guide to Learning PHP
PHP web development, made easy.
About the Book
Learning a programming language can be a difficult task – especially if you've never coded before. In this book, I'll be demonstrating the fundamentals of (and will slowly progress to more advanced) PHP as well as providing advice on how you can extend your knowledge once you're complete with the book. From the ground up, I'll be teaching the best, up-to-date practices. None of that mysql_ stuff.
I'll also provide you with the best resources available (both free and premium) where you can learn side by side with this book. My goal is to make learning PHP is simple as possible. There's no need to overcomplicate it!
