What sould i do next?

Hey there,

Last a few months i have read a set of PHP tutorials and it was very nice, i think. But after finishing those tutorials, i did not know what to do to improve my PHP skills. So, my question is that, what do you guys advice me or any PHP learner to do more?

 

Best thing is to set yourself a challenge.
Try to figure out a project that will put a number of skills you learnt to the test and throw in some spice. For example, try your hands at ajax if you don't know it.

I always find I am more motivated and more performant when I am working on a project that is not really in my field of expertise. I basically like a challenge

Thanks for your reply. OK, i did not know Ajax, i may try to learn it as well; but i do not think my PHP is good enough, more specifically, what can i do in order to make it way better? I mean, what kind little projects or exercises can i work on with PHP?

 

Set yourself a task, like create a blog...
It is hard to tell without knowing what you know

There is much to learn in php, the beat guide book for self learners is "Learn PHP the easy Way" available at scriptsez.net

 

i guess you should try applying what you have learned, i assumed that would be the time from where you could have an idea on where you lack most or what you need to learn new.

 

There is no limit of learning. I learn most when i am involved in a project. Every project small or big gives me some new thing..
you can start it by working on your own website..

Cheers

 

Yeah dude .Start doing some projects.That is the better way to learn PHP or whichever technology.
Good Luck

 

Hi friends..
I agree with sabbir There is no limit of learning. According to me now you should learn how to use php tools and software, You should have practical knowledge before starting new project. Set your goals details of your project. In your project you would face the problem .That time you will learn practically .Today There are so many tools available so you would be aware of the new technology..

 

Hi sylar48,

I would suggest you to start some code practice, learn some OPPS convept from php site.
Learning the javascript and have some knowledge of atleast one js framework, I would suggest Mootools for this.
Better practice is to try to implement things instead of just using it from other sources. If you are using source from other developer then you must be aware of each and every line of that code. This is my funda.

Thanks

Now you do practice and develop an small project like address book ...
