Re: What Comes Next?

PHP is excellent, but I'd have to say there's a great deal of similariy in
many of the basics between PHP and Perl.

I found Perl to be fairly easy to understand (coming from a C background),
and use it often in conjunction with MySQL.  Not being argumentative,
Lauri...just a second opinion...:)

Craig,
I wouldn't recommend CGI(should I say Perl? ), as it's quite hard. What I
would
recommend, however, is learning how to code in PHP and MySQL. I just love
PHP
(I'm doing a CV service now, where people can enter their info, which is
formatted to look like a "real" CV and then other people can see it, mail it
to
themself, print it and so on).
+I would recommend reding through the database and PHP related articles on
the
site of WebMonkey.
+Then I'd recommend you move on to the site www.phpbuilder.com.
+I'd also recommend reading through the diary part on
http://www.tdscripts.com.
+The official manual of PHP can be found at www.php.net.

Install PHP/MySQL on your home/work box and play around with it. You can use
databases, show different pages to different browsers, use cookie
authentication
and so on.

Yours,
Lauri
