PHP Percolate! Season 4

PHP Percolate!, our self-study group for beginners, is returning for Season 4. If you would like to learn PHP from the ground up, consider joining us. Tell your friends and co-workers to join in the fun.

The format of a virtual self-study group is as follows:

Each participant purchases the same textbook (PHP for the Web). Each participant commits to read one chapter per week, complete the exercises and post a link to your completed work. Each participant obtains assistance by posting questions to a discussion area set up on the Boston PHP Message Board (http://www.bostonphp.org/messages/boards/thread/25590112) for each chapter. Note: There is no classroom instruction. There are no webcasts. There are no scheduled appointments of any kind. However, Percolate! Coffee Clubs have been known to spring up like food trucks in various Boston area communities. These Percolate! Coffee Clubs are informal gatherings set up by PHP Percolate! participants.
