No doubt you've seen a lot of tutorials. The tutorials here are pretty much
the same. Only here the point is to learn to experiment with what you learn.
Hopefully your experimentation will eventually get you to a place where you, not only learn something
new, but also learn something you can pass on to others.
One of the basic ideas here is to get you to author your own tutorial. To this end,
what we want you to think about as you go over these tutorials is how you would have presented this same material.
- How, for example, would you have written the tutorial to make it simpler or easier to understand?
- What parts of the tutorial confused you? What parts were not immediately clear?
- What problems did you have in trying to do this tutorial?
- What new things did you discover in trying to apply this tutorial to you own site?
All of this, however, does not apply to Tutorial 1. Anyone who has ever done
anything in php can skip this first tutorial. Have you gone to the W3 tutorial
pages and successfully completed the "Hello World!" php section? If so, then
you too can skip this first tutorial. The first tutorial is pre-beginners level.
The next four tutorials (2 thru 5) are for beginners. The next five tutorials
are intermediate level. The remaining numbered tutorials
are more advanced. And there is also a repository
of tutorials submittted by various authors.
By the way, if you've already written a tutorial and you are looking for
a place to host it, submit it to us. We'll place it under your name with other tutorials
in a repository available to the public for as long this site exists or for
as long as you wish.
