I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out and I guess you could say "take me under your wing". I love programming, the problem solving aspect, how you can create a full blown money making website from nothing but your knowledge. I have many ideas for new websites, and have paid programmers in the past to make these ideas, some which generate over $1/day, and have massive potential with the right improvements. So, I'm hoping to find a PHP programmer who would be willing to take me under his/her wing and help me learn more. I am a fast learner but with websites and books it's much harder. I couldn't offer much, but I could help you on your projects if I had enough knowledge to do so, and I would be willing to pay you 20% of everything I earn from misc. small jobs while you're training me. Current knowledge: HTML - 95% CSS - 60% PHP - 5% SQL - 5% Java - 1% cPanel - 100% (Can transfer websites, databases, and fix almost all errors associated with this. Can use FTP, mailers, cron jobs, etc.) I would really appreciate the help, and you will see quickly I have a desire to learn and help. Thanks
So you know a little PHP, a little SQL and a little Java, but I don't see any "programming" (which is not a particular programming language, it's a way of doing things). Start with Algorithms + Data Structures.pdf (be patient - the site is very slow). Be prepared to spend a few months learning programming. Then PHP will be a lot easier to learn (it's almost trivial for a programmer to learn PHP, because it's designed to be), and you'll understand how to turn an idea into a program (which you do in English, not in a programming language). SQL is a bit more difficult - you have to learn how databases work. But there are tutorials for that. And forget Java if you want to do web development, it's for desktop development. (Although Javascript - which has nothing to do with Java - is another language you need for web development.)
Java is still noticeably used on the web. I actually have friend who work on Java in the web development field.
