Re: Logical next step in learning?

Hi Gary, I would start working on your project. That's how I got to where I am with it. Now though... I want to go through and completely recode the entire project.. Which is something you'll have to get used to :) But I'd start coding and when you run into a problem, ask.. If you search for my name in the archives, you'll see that is exactly what I did.

I think most books have you writing code, and Head First did as well, so I think that is covered.. I actually have a real project to do that is a little beyond my abilities at this point (its my own), so I want to keep the learning process flowing. But thank you for your suggestion!

I am nearing completion of Head First PHP & MySQL, which is a beginners book. Does anyone have a next step in a choice of a book to progress my studies? I have been watching the board,starting to understand some of the questions,and have been following some of the responses,in partiuclar to the PHP site, but would like to have a next step book to work on. Any suggestions? Gary BTW, I really enjoyed the Head First method of teaching, making learning such a complicated subject as coding a little easier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Reading is great, but nothing beats doing...my suggestion is find a silly project and code it catalog your books/cds/dvds rental site anything that will put you in a spot where the issues you run into are not in a book. Its the only way to learn real life programming -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat
