treehouse : what would you like to learn today?
Web Design Web Development iOS Development

I want to get experienced with php...

  • ... but I hate making things that are just for the sake of learning. I would much prefer to make something that somebody could use. So do you have any ideas. Maybe a cool web app or site you don't know how to make, can't be bothered to or just don't have the time that will be a good way for me to learn, any size will do? Thanks
  • unfortunately it might be better to at least get some groundwork in first :)

    I found the best tutorial to lay some good foundations was by Jeff from Theme Forest.

    http://blog.themeforest.net/screencasts ... eo-series/

    and the Regular expressions to go with the series that runs along side that one :)

    Other wise you will get really frustrated trying to start, and these tuts at least give you piratical examples to do :)

  • If you want something to develop in PHP, I would make a simple CMS. This will also get you working with MySQL Databases, and you can always expand and upgrade to image uploading, etc., etc.

  • Surely if you want something piratical you should make a bit torrent tracker site.... :roll:
  • Or an ecommerce sight for eye patches, wooden legs and parrots.

    Yo ho ho. ;)
  • thanks for the suggestions!

    I decided to go with a bittorrent cms where you can download torrents printable eyepatches!

    Thanks Robski..., I'd seen these great tuts before but I was lame and didn't bookmark it so I lost it. Thanks for the link.
