ok i added the new options to the poll
well my first major project i completed after 3 weeks and that was for a administration back-end for a web-site ive been working on for the last 7 months, however i did use a couple of snippets of code as well as my own so i dont class it as my own, however i do believe i could do it with the knowledge i possess now on my own.
well ive invested about £300 in learning PHP, thats how awesome it is, i spent around £160 on Zend Studio (honestly, this is the greatest piece of software ever, even if it is a resource eater on my 2.6ghz P4) and the rest on books and <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> like that
Well in the last 2 months (especially other the xmas period) i written 3 or 4 application by myself, not for the lack of wanting help mind, uni was closed for me so no internet for 3 weeks
, the most complex application i have written is probably my private messaging scripts, they run into 100's of lines of code, but ive built things like messaging boards, data-driven sites from MySQL, if/else depending on what browser the user is viewing and redirecting to a new site, guestbook, a chat site that was <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> etc etc etc
however i think the best thing about PHP is that it is actually fun, and makes you want to continue, the amount of times ive punched my monitor other error messages from PHP then cuddled it 5 minutes later after i sort out the problem is amazing
I am pretty fortunate in that i already have a grasp of many languages so find it alot easier than some, however i still believe PHP follows the old motto "easy to learn, hard to master"
hope you are all having as much fun as i am having learning it
learning next
Loops and Mathemical Expressions
Next Leisure Project
well after watching the darts all week i thouhgt i would test out my mathematical PHP skills, say i type in 170, it would tell me how to 'hit out' from that, i dont need this app for anything but i think it could be fun making

Lets just say I've been doing it so long that I sometimes question why I do it. I cant remember exact dates anymore, just aproximations... I figure, i started PHP just over a year ago, and HTML over three of four years ago. As for computers, hehe, I am ashamed to say I was aquinted with windows 3.11, but ironically, I kinda like it best outta the windows series because it never crashed. not once. of course, i do like Windows XP, at least they had the decency to hide the blue screens better.
Anyways, rambling... so yeah, PHP just over one year ago
and it's fun as hell

I remember when php first came out and a buddy was telling me how "php was gonna be the way", but I actually didn't listen to him.. (this was in 1998 or so ). least to say, a few years later I found out just how true he was
his nick was isolation x ( or iso for short ).
so, in late 2001 i began my journey into php. i didn't know much about it, and still don't, but we get better as we find new things to develop
