Self Managed Learning Plan – Week One

Learning PHP Fundamentals

After the first week of studying some fundamental processes of PHP I have found that the language seems quite easy to pick up. There is a vast amount of new syntax to learn and to add to my vocabulary but I am sure this process will pick up pace in due course.

Glad To Be Back

Well, four months doesn’t seem like two minutes ago now I’m back in the class room. It’s good to see everyone settle into the routine fairly easily and it seems like no one has been away. There was usual banter while on our break and everyone has a smile on their face.

Myself, Tim and Martyn were able to talk to some of the first years and get a feel for their tensions that I know we had on the first day of college. It’s good to see, in a way, that they all have the same expectations and feelings as our group did.

Resources For My Self Managed Learning Plan

Stated below is a list of resources I will be using to help me manage my SMLP. These include a mixture of online manuals, tutorials and physical copies of books.

  1. http://www.php.net
  2. The definitive resource for php. This will be my bible, at least for php coding, that will guide me through my SMLP. There are many snippets of useful information and users comments that will help me along the way.
