Not sure how should i learn PHP

I think a better question to ask is what do you hope to accomplish? Do you want to be a designer? or more? Designers can get by and find work without knowing things like Ruby, PHP, and Python. There are also many jobs that if a designer does know these it can help them get the job. The issue is what do you WANT to do? do you want to program or design? If you want to design then skip the frameworks and concentrate on designing. If you want to program then stick to it and work your way through php and or ruby and or python (when we get more python stuff). If you don't understand something ask questions there are a lot of helpful folk here.

Hi. Please believe me I say I'm not trying to be patronising or trolly. I think one of the following misconceptions with the abundance of online learning for code, is that its easy, and after watching a few videos a student will be able to write amazing applications. This may be the case with some talented individuals with iddlic memories, but nor for most of us. I have been learning web dev for coming up 2 years now, and I always learning, and still will for many years. It takes a long time to really grasp all of the concepts and it takes perseverance. All you can really do is keep going over the same stuff until you 'get it', and you will eventually.

Treehouse is definitely one of the best learning resources I have come across, and I have tried A LOT. Nothing comes close in my opinion to how TH design, create and present their material. Another good place is tuts+, you can buy individual courses rather than subscribe. :)

I've been doing HTML/CSS far longer than PHP. I've only just picked it up and I definitely started out just like you are now (and many MANY others before us), but I've made it a habit to simply go back over materials every few days until it starts to really sink in. Or in the very least, until I simply remember the proper syntax for everything.

Like everyone else before has said, it's really just about being able to stick with it until you've really got it.

just ask following question does platform like wordpress and many php frameworks excite you then that is your way. but in my aponion you should go with ruby on rails

I started in web using Joomla, then started learning HTML and CSS, then switched to Drupal, and I clearly remember saying something like "this thing is very difficult" but I kept going for the tree last years and built lots of different websites.

Now I decided to learn PHP, and it feels just like start over but I know I have to keep going, treehouse is a great place to learn, I guess my effot will pay off in the end :)

It been very helpful to see these answers :) like to make a habit to go back over stuff every cople of days etc.. :) Well i want to be able to do a facebook-like page. Like to put comments , log in log out, special comments , put images , delete block user , unblock , have own points like treehouse for every person you know , everything that will help me to make a facebook-like website , not that complicated but you know log in log out , comment etc.. I know theres JavaScript too but my main goal is to know how to manage server language . So i thought PHP is the right to learn for it? or Ruby on Rails? not sure . I hope i wrote it well sorry for my english.
