In a follow up to my previous post about reference materials, I’m on the lookout for a PHP reference that will teach me the basics of this server side language. It is undoubtedly one of the most popular languages today and as such I feel it is important to swot up a bit this summer.

It will be a topic that is covered when I go to University in Dundee this summer, but I’d be interested in using some PHP in a personal project this summer before I go. Nothing fancy, but just so I’m able to understand the principles. I already have this book which I’m slowly working through, and I’ve recently discovered this tutorial site which I will take a look at, but wondered if there were any other recommendations that people have?

Reference Materials

July 22, 2008 by admin

As a student and relative newcomer to website design and development I am always on the look out for refernce books and materials that can teach me about differing areas and technologies such as XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. At the moment I have several books which I consult regularly as a reference point and my Google reader is full of tutorial sites and resources which provide help when I need it.

As I will be starting University in September, I feel that these will also come in handy when it comes to assessment times as well as in any other work that I do. I am keen to learn as much as possible in order at this stage in order to improve my skillset and any recommendations of good books, blogs or sites is certainly appreciated.
