If you already have a good understanding of HTML, and now you want to make your Web pages do more, then this book is for you! This book is written to teach Web designers who have never programmed before or who have little experience programming how to program in PHP. Along the way, you will pick up important concepts such as object-oriented programming and the creation of database-driven Web sites.
If you are a Web designer and you want to increase your skills and knowledge of Web programming, this book is an excellent place to start. This book will lead you through explanations of all the concepts involved in programming Web applications in PHP. You will learn to write your own Web programs, and, because a constant emphasis is placed on important coding practices, your code will be high quality. To an employer, high-quality code is an important skill that all programmers should have.
Understanding coding style and other common practices will also make you more productive, meaning you’ll spend less time correcting errors and more time getting work done. Finally, by reading this book, you will catch hints related to Web programming that will bring you much closer to being a knowledgeable PHP programmer, rather than just a beginner. Being self-taught, I’ve spent many, many hours in discussion groups, chat rooms, and mailing lists—not to mention browsing PHP related Web sites, articles, and the PHP Manual—to learn PHP and the tricks of the PHP community. The hints and tricks I have learned have been interspersed as appropriate throughout this book. Needless to say, the tips you will find in this book would take months to learn about on your own—especially because a lot of the time you don’t even know specifically what you’re looking for.
