My SMLP Resources

I have identified a number of resources to aid me in learning PHP during the upcoming Self-Managed Learning Plan:

1. PHP for the World Wide Web (Visual QuickStart Guides)
A book for beginning and intermediate users with step-by-step instructions to teach the programming language.

2. Programming PHP
A book covering PHP essentials, basic web techniques, and an introduction to database access. Again, this book goes step-by-step through the language.

3. SAMs Teach Yourself PHP in 24 Hours
24 one hour lessons in PHP. This book is a "quick and easy way to learn how to create interactive websites for your end user."

4. Tizag.com PHP Tutorial
An introduction to the basics of PHP. Probably one of the first places I'll look whilst waiting for my delivery from Amazon.co.uk.

5. W3Schools.com PHP Tutorial
As with most things web-related, W3 Schools have a nice introductory tutorial. Whilst these are not always in-depth, they often provide a nice starting point.

6. Tutorialized
A large collection of links to many a tutorial on various sites. Quite a good resource, even if it does spell 'Tutorialised' with a 'z'.

7. PHP Freaks
PHP Freaks is a website with a few tutorials, as well as a large community. I'll use this to ask any questions I need answering (or as a database of ready-asked questions!)

8. Developer Tutorials
A collection of tutorials and articles to help those learning PHP.

9. Pixel2Life
A collection of PHP tutorials to assist in learning and show various 'how tos'.

10. The PHP Website
Probably the definitive resource for PHP knowledge - includes introductory information as well as the PHP manual.
