Hey guys I decided I wanted to learn PHP and MYSQL so I joined lynda.com and watched a tutorial on php & mysql and got pretty bored of it after a couple of videos. Not judging the person teaching it either but it still seems really confusing to me even though I would love to be able to create content managment systems and code my own websites in php. Whilst practicing some of the exercises I taught to myself, "wow there is really so much to remember about different variables,stings and functions"...All those pieces of code would be hard to remember. All seemed a little overwhelming.
I would also love to learn how to create my own wordpress blogs from scatch. But correct me if i'm wrong, is it really a long process to learning php. I'm thinking of paying somebody to teach me 1-on-1, afterall it might be the fastest way to learn. I already know html & CSS so wanna take it it to the next level now. Would love to hear how some of you learnt php/mysql and whether or not you took or courses or studied it at college/university. It's all new to me guys but i'm sure once I get the hang of it and practice it everyday I'll learn most of the basics. Do you think W3Schools would be a great place to start?
Thanks Guys
