AGREED!

Absolutely! I learned PHP from studying various books, experimentation and this website with no background in computer science/coding whatsoever. If it weren't for the help I received at devnetwork I would be seriously lost! I would never have completed my first self-assigned projects and would have given up. Thanks to all the help I've gotten here I've been able to complete other projects at work and on my own.

For example:

viewtopic.php?t=16991&highlight=

My first post.

:oops: :roll: :lol:

I still am too! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah it's pretty embarrasing. But I was not joking in the slightest bit when I said that I had NO background in coding.
