Web Design, meet Server-Side Programming
I've been interested in web development / design for over 10 years. I've dabbled, dawdled, played and did a little here and there, but nothing fancy...ever. I know a little HTML, I've gotten much better at CSS, but from there my knowledge terminates. What's missing? PHP, MySQL, ie: server-side programming.
I'm working on a major project that will require an extensive MySQL database with heavy PHP scripts running on all pages of the site. I once took a seminar on MS Access which taught me a little about relational databases, which turns out to be important because that's the 'heart and soul' of MySQL.
I found a book, "PHP in a Nutshell" which I plan to get my hands on soon. I'm hoping this book will help launch me into a whole new world of understanding and website development. My site idea requires a great deal more knowledge and experience than I have currently, so here goes nothing.
I'll post a vague summary of my project in the near future. For now, check out my other project here.
