Hi, I've been wanting to learn PHP for a while now and was thinking of purchasing a month from lynda.com to learn this batch of tutorials: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=435 Now if I really learn the subjects of the tutorial well, would I be able to develop joomla components or modules? Or are the subjects of that tutorial batch too basic? I really don't know what php consists of at all...it isn't something I know much about. Thanks PS. I also have asked this on other forums and I was told there are good free resources for people like me with no real programming experience. I know the lynda tutorials are targeted at people with xhtml and css (with no knowledge of programming outside that) so are there any other video/text tutorial sites that are free that I would be able to follow easily?
