Learning PHP

[Scottish Business Owner]

Hi Folks,

I have quite a thirst for knowledge and education in general. I like to read lots and spend quite a bit of time online. Is it feasible for someone like me with no programming knowledge to teach myself PHP?

Would another way be to learn about html and css etc and look at how websites are built etc before going in to something more heavy like php or are they two completely seperate things and dont compliment each other at all?

Your views?

To build dynamic sites using PHP you would need a solid understanding of HTML and CSS, that should be a given. This place is great for learning.

W3Schools.com is a fantastic resource!

I also use www.webmonkey.com for a nice and simple step-by-step learning experience

i think you can use w3schools and you can learn a lot about programming and coding by yourself. When i want to learn something related to programming and coding assignment help UK so i use this because it is really simple and easy.

I am self taught. Although I am now 45 yoa and self taught since I was 8yoa. PHP Is not as easy as java and c# but once you get your head round it its not crazy plus if you want to make decent websites you do need it. Btw I make bespoke CMS (over 400 sites designed) all written in PHP, Javascript, HTML5, CSS3 (BluCMS - my own CMS, used by hundreds of UK Businesses)

I'd recommend you to learn Python

A strong foundation in HTML and CSS is crucial when it comes to constructing dynamic websites using PHP. These skills are essential prerequisites, providing the necessary groundwork for building web pages with proper structure and styling. To gain proficiency in these fundamental web technologies, it is highly recommended to explore educational resources and platforms that offer comprehensive learning opportunities. Such resources can serve as excellent guides in developing your understanding and proficiency in HTML and CSS, ensuring you have a solid base for diving into dynamic web development with PHP.

PHP remains one of the most complicated languages. But such specialists have higher salaries.

Absolutely feasible to teach yourself PHP with dedication. Learning HTML/CSS is a good foundation, but PHP is for server-side programming, different from design-focused HTML/CSS.
