What is the best – and easiest way – to learn PHP, MySQL, Perl, CSS, and XHTML?
I have a liberal arts background, and never really studied higher mathematics or computer science. However, I have got into designing basic websites for people lately, using Dreamweaver and some other WYSIWYG programs. I know I need to break out of that, and start learning the programming languages necessary to design dynamic websites and interactive e-commerce solutions. How do I get my head around programming languages like PHP, though?
I’m not sure about Perl, since I’ve never done it, but these sites may be useful.
http://us3.php.net/ – PHP’s manual. Unlike most manuals, this is REALLY helpful.
http://www.w3schools.com/ – A GREAT website with examples and explains things thoroughly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ – I use this a lot for MySQL. Just go to an article like this: “Syntax (SQL).” For instance, for the INSERT syntax, it would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insert_(SQL)
