Thread: Learning php in 16 hours

Is it possible for a guy with nothing but a mild understanding of C and programming in general and 2 years experience with java.

Absolutely possible IMO.

I tried learning php it's very easy if you know a little c , you can find some helpful tutorials here http://www.phpbuddy.com

Depends how much PHP your looking to learn.

Your not going to learn it all in 16 hours. To be fair though, I don't think many (if any) people have even learned it all.

The basics maybe, it depends how easily you can absorb information.

if u know C programming, it will help you to learn PHP...about the time, it depend on your effort.

I think noone programmer can learn all feature in PHP...so many feature in PHP

I pretty much just know enough to edit some slight items, nothing major :eek:

I have a thick book at home though your a programmer with previous experience I still erk to learn it and pick it up. Maybe its just me though I'm not really drawn into programming that much as fast as others are so talented to do so.

"http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp" Just go through them and enjoy it.

It should be possible to get an understanding of the basics but it will take time depending on what you plan on creating. If you know C then you should definitely have a good feel for PHP in a short time span.

If anything, I think previous coding experience will help anyone learn PHP.
Find guides or tutorials and find out what code does what.
I learned PHP by doing tutorials and asking a lot of questions on my host's forum. They have a beginners section and I did all of the tutorials there.

If I had any questions, I would ask in the Programming section and get answers pretty quick.

It's very possible to learn most of the basics in a few hours, go for it!

I wouldn't say it's possible. Learning for 16 hours straight is highly unlikely IMHO.

PHP is one of the leading languages in web development and it’s widely used in web programming and developing application. PHP is easy to learn there are lots of tutorials are present in the web, W3C schools are useful for learning PHP.

There's no who can tell you how much time it would take you to learn a language. It all depends on your readiness to spend the time and effort required.

One thing is certain: to learn to program, you most program all the time.

Good luck

I learned php in 20 minutes.LOL In 16 hours you can only learn very very basic things in php

I've read about PHP from w3schools but I have to say that after 3 hours of reading, it's kinda hard to remember it all

I don't know about 16 hours but I think if you only wanted to learn some of the php basic, then I have to say yes, it is possible even though I'm not sure :P

I badly want to learn PHP since I'm a GEEK. LOL but im focusing on money making activities now.

I've been meaning to learn php for a while now. Just havn't found the time.

I think it is not possible because java and c are very different is nature , java based on oops and c don't

I think that in learning any programming language essential to understand the basic principles of functioning of ...
If you know the logic of the programming language, it is not difficult to switch to another programming language ...
In this sense, the transition from C language to PHP would not be a problem, even for 16 hours ...

It should be possible to become an realizing of the basics but it will take time depending on what you plan on making. If you recognize C then you should decidedly have a good feel for PHP in a short time span.
