PHP Video tutorials - Full Course?

[MAYhem]

Hi there,

 

I am student and i'm studying programming, i know c++, c but i'm leaning more towards web designing and scripting. so i was wondering if any one of you know about any php full course video tutorials? something which is in detail and is worth the time..

 

Thanks, would really appreciate it!

For starting with PHP, I did exactly the tutorial majorawsome suggested, and I can

wholeheartedly recommend it.

Also of interest (not just for PHP, but also for other web stuff, databases and general

programming topics) might be:

• JREAMDesign (he has good tutorial on how to make your on MVC IIRC).
• PHP Academy (in fact, The New Boston's 200 video PHP series

  was made by the guy who does phpacademy.)

• Derek Banas' Channel
• Adam Khoury's Channel
• Brian Will's channel
• PHP's offical site also often has some very helpful examples on

  a lot of stuff if you ever get stuck.

• Stackoverflow has also been an immense help to me. If your problem

  has been answered or discussed on SO, google will usually take

  you there in its first few search results.

EDIT: I know not all of these qualify as full courses, but when I did my last

actual project I often needed to solve rather specific problems for which I found

these sites/channels to be immensely helpful. Starting with a full course and then

going into specific problems from there has worked well for me.

Jeez, thanks! i would have never found these on my own, the 200 video course is pretty cool.

What area do you want to focus on. Designing (Making the website look pretty) or a Developer (Making the website to do things that you want it to do.)?

 

Even  before you make up your mind if you want to be a Developer, or Designer, go out there and really learn HTML 5, and CSS 3.0. These two markup languages are the base platform for any website base code that you want to work with. Then move up to JavaScript.

 

If you are a College Student, you will need tools in developing or designing a website. So go to Microsoft Dreamsparks and pick up Microsoft Visual Studio, Expression 4, SQL Server, and Windows 2012 Server for free. I highly suggest using part of your pell grant, or student loans in purchasing Adobe Master Suite for $800.00 from Amazon.com. That price is $1900.00 saving from the retailed price.

 

If you not a student, go to your local community college and sign  up for two online classes, like HTML and CSS classes. Apply for the $2,700.00 pell grant, and the $10,000.00 a year student loan. Then get your student ID and e-mail address. You will qualify for the funds if you take 6 credits or more, have a High School Diploma, or a GED, have a GPA 2.0 or better, have not default on pass student loans.

 

Complete the two classes. You will keep the pell grant payment. In 6 month you will start paying the student loan of $3,500.00 over a 8 year period, or you can continue with your Community College Education. No matter what you chose, that student ID and e-mail address is good for a year. If used the right way can save you thousands of dollars a year.
