http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627 is a best source for absolute
beginners!
Dont know about a good online resource - but trying to write a simple
guestbook is a good way to learn some basic php functions .
In a way , A guestbook is nothing more than a standard form that stores
the text information entered .
Once thats done you just need to retrieve and display it .

What (if any) programming languages do you already know? It makes a big
difference.

I've been doing little programming since I was 7 when I had a ZX81.
Back then it was a very poor basic but I soon started assembly and
pascal. From pascal I moved onto C and 68000 on the Amiga. At college
I did a lot more with C++ and then dabbled with HTML. I never really
dedicated enough time to any of them but now I have a lot of spare
time so really should put the effort in.

I would really recommend you buy a book then, if you've been
programming before. They are usually much better written than the crap
you get on the internet. If you are determined to use the internet to
learn, I'd recommend: http://www.w3schools.com/ and http://www.php.net/ to look up any weird
and wonderful functions.
Myself, I learned PHP from the book "Web Database Applications with
PHP & MySQL" from O'Reilly Books. ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Web-
Database-Applications-PHP-MySQL/dp/0596005431/) It took me about 3
days to get to a stage where I could write a decent guestbook. If you
learn the first few chapters you're pretty much laughing, the later
chapters deal more with optimising your code than anything else.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I read that ASP.NET uses VB.NET instead of VBScript. I also read that
ASP.NET is a subset of VB.NET. So if I learn VB.NET first then do I have the
knowledge for programming ASP.NET applications or do I need to learn both
VB.NET and ASP.NET.
Thank you.

From what I've read of OOP, I don't get it. I have also found some

However, those articles were no more objective than the descriptions of
OOP I've read in making a case. Ie., what objective

more quickly by the programmer, or that the solution is more efficient

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
