Sometimes it’s better to see how things are done from an expert than to read through a book to learn programming (or scripting). Killerphp.com [1] is one of those sites that offer video tutorials to takes you through step by step on learning PHP. So if you are a web designer, or taken up programming as a hobby, even maybe just want a change of career then head over to killerphp.com. They have done a great job not only showing you how to program but also setting up the environment (web server using WAMP [2]) to get started.
