Learning to do more
Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 2:37 pm
Well I got my little test site done that Ive been working on, it works perfectly on the test server and Im overall happy with it. I used some variables and includes to call all of the content and to generate things like the title, some headings, menus and so on. While by no means a stretch at all of PHP skills, it has been very much a learning experience for me. Realy simple and basic stuff but its a baby step down the road to learning to code a little for me.
Id really like to learn more, go further and work my way to as much of a fully dynamic site as possible. However, Im not sure what the next step should be. What idea or project I could implement on this test site to learn a little more. So I thought I would come here and ask for ideas. A project or something like that that I could implement in the test site that would take me to the next baby step in this process and learn a little more. Even if I have to totally revamp the test site to implement this, that would be fine just as long as its not some overly complicated thing. Something that would push the line just a little bit more. Something that I could still ask questions about if I get stuck but something that I could also do a little digging around and find clues on how to implement.
So how about it? Anyone got some ideas that would help me learn a little more about PHP coding without being so complicated it would drive one batty and destroy the desire to learn?
