On the VTC website there are about 16 videos discussing php that you can watch free of charge. On the Lynda.com website there are only 9.

You may remember though that I stopped after video 6 on the VTC site because I felt that they had skipped information necessary for complete beginners like me.

The first Lynda.com video claims to be 2 minutes and 32 seconds long but it sure felt like a lot longer. I hope it was longer because if not this may be a very tedious course to get through. Anyway, in the very long 2 and a half minutes of the the first video they basically introduce the course and at first it seems cool but then all this new vocab like “strings” and “arrays” and stuff like that was bandied about. It might scare some people off php forever but not me. I will not falter, not for a second……maybe.

One good thing about the intro is that they said that they would introduce all the necessary software. Hopefully they give details on how to get it and install it too.
