PHP is the language of the web. Nearly every website you visit runs PHP programs that determine what information to show you, and format that information into the HTML that your web browser understands. WordPress, Forums, and many CMS (Content Management Systems) are built with PHP. Even the simple photo galleries or old fashioned guest books run PHP under the surface.
It’s no wonder then that PHP is an in-demand skillset. With thousands of website owners wishing to implement all sorts of changes to their websites, from simple visual changes to highly complex software programs. Someone has to do all this. Why not you?
You don’t know PHP? Well then, you’re in luck. In addition to all the information on the web, a fellow named Robert Plank has written a book called Simple PHP.
That’s a great name too. The book is layed out in a nice plain English, conversational way. Unlike most text books that tend to be fairly dry reading, Simple PHP covers the topics without sending you to sleep. Best of all, it’s understandable to all. It doesn’t assume a lot of technical know-how to start.
Volume One of Simple PHP has several components.
- The downloadable manual is 122 pages long, with example source code and quiz style chapter endings. It even has weekly assignments to give you a hint of college learning!
- NameRazor is a naming generator to help you name components,programs, even info products and websites.
- 15 Essential Script Installation videos totaling 140 minutes of content, that show you to install common, and uncommon; even your own, PHP scripts on a webserver.
- Simple PHP training videos containing 5 hours of content.
All this will set you back $39.95.
Considering that a hardcopy text book can easily cost that much, if not more, this is great value. Not many textbooks are full of video content.
And don’t forget, you get a 60 day money back guarantee. So if you’re not satisfied, you won’t be out of pocket.
If you’ve been wanting to learn a programming language for fun, or if you simply can’t afford the big prices that go along with outsourcing the development of custom software, you should give Simple PHP a try.
