Learn PHP Pete R. has unlocked this achievement over 7 years ago

Reason: "I wanted to be a designer that knows how to code so that I can become a one-stop shop for clients. PHP is great for starter."

It's great to start off your programming with PHP since there are big industries build around it.

Wordpress and Magento is PHP based and there are  a lot of demand around these platform. Almost every businesses in the US/UK want a website or want to redesign their websites. It's easier for designer/developer to make money from PHP.

If you are looking to start learning PHP, follow these:

  1. Pick a framework
    Wordpress, Magento, CakePHP, or Code Igniter. Pick one and master it. It's easier to start from these platform because there are many documentation and tutorial around them, it will be a lot easier to start out with these.
  2. Try creating your personal site with your chosen platform
    If you chose Wordpress, try creating a site (maybe your personal site) using Wordpress. I've learned that it's will be easier and faster to learn if you assign an assignment to yourself.
  3. Follow these Assignments
    Nettut+ has written a very nice list of assignments for you to follow. Check it out: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/the-best-way-to-learn-php/
I hope these help you get started.

The time it took to complete this goal is: almost 7 years
