| 19:12.27 | influx^_^ | So, what would be good projects for learning php? |
| 19:13.03 | influx^_^ | I don't imagine building a full-fledged shopping cart system would be simple enough. |
| 19:13.08 | influx^_^ | ...or something. |
| 21:14.58 | mindjuju | hi influx^_^ -- are you just looking to start learning how to code php in general or do you have a project in mind? |
| 21:16.49 | influx^_^ | I'd like to know how to code php in general, but I do have a project in mind. I was thinking I'd like to make a photo gallery application. |
| 21:17.20 | mindjuju | have you coded in any other languages before? |
| 21:19.23 | mindjuju | I don't ask to be rude or anything, just to find out where you are in the big scheme of things and to suggest something appropriate |
| 21:20.24 | mindjuju | For example, if you are just learning, then what I would recommend is downloading Gallery - well respected photo gallery application written in PHP and dissecting it. |
| 21:20.29 | mindjuju | see what they do and why |
| 21:20.36 | influx^_^ | *nod* |
| 21:20.43 | mindjuju | the advantage of this method is that you get to see good coding methods |
| 21:21.06 | mindjuju | then while you're there, if you see bugs or have an idea you can start to write plugins for the application |
| 21:21.23 | influx^_^ | I've never coded in anything before, though I had started to learn php around version 3 for a bit. |
| 21:21.27 | influx^_^ | Aye. |
| 21:22.01 | mindjuju | i'd also take a look at some books -- hang on a quick sec so i can get you some titles |
| 21:22.01 | influx^_^ | I understand a couple of the more general things, like loops and some functions. |
| 21:22.20 | mindjuju | are you in the Salt Lake or Utah County? |
| 21:23.18 | influx^_^ | Downtown SLC. |
| 21:23.29 | influx^_^ | A block east of the Gateway. |
| 21:23.31 | mindjuju | i ask because we have a meet this thursday in Draper |
| 21:23.37 | influx^_^ | I don't have a car. :O |
| 21:23.40 | mindjuju | bummer |
| 21:23.45 | influx^_^ | That's alright. |
| 21:24.11 | mindjuju | I read the first edition of this book and it helped |
| 21:24.12 | mindjuju | http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp2/ |
| 21:24.38 | mindjuju | there are also a lot of online resources and tuts, but truth told, the best source of info on php comes from php.net |
| 21:25.02 | mindjuju | i found their site to be immensely helpful in just understanding what certain functions did, why and how |
| 21:25.42 | influx^_^ | Cool, cool. |
| 21:25.57 | influx^_^ | My friend had me download a php widget that lists all the functions. |
| 21:26.09 | mindjuju | cool |
| 21:26.40 | mindjuju | plus, of course, we're all here on weekdays, so if you have questions, don't be shy |
| 21:26.52 | mindjuju | on weekends, its like you see now |
| 21:27.08 | influx^_^ | I understand. People have lives. |
