PHP and JavaScript - books and first impressions
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide
Professional Joomla! (Programmer to Programmer)
are the first books I’ve bought to help me get started coding.
Haven’t had a detailed read yet, but the O’Reilly “The Definitive Guide” series have served me well in the non-web world so should be good here too.
Have been playing with the simple examples in the first chapters of each book,just to get familar with the coding and looks like there is nothing too odd from a structure or logic point of view. Dealing with HTML and the webworld may hold some surprises but haven’t gotten that far yet.
Of course to actually play with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript you need to have a webserver and MySQL installed. Turns out this are really simple and easy to install on your own machine. Will write up my experiences of those soon.
