There are a few important things to recognise when you become a developer of any sort, whether an app developer, a website developer, game developer or desktop application developer.
The concepts are the same in almost every language - this is an important lesson. Whilst in this module we’re going to spend most of our time looking at PHP and MySQL this doesn’t mean you cannot program in any other programming language - you should spend time to learn the basics, conditional statements, error handling, loops, variables and arrays.
You get out what you put in - Programming isn’t something which is taught, although we can try our best. You will learn the concepts, the basics of any programming language, and along the way I will show you practical examples and code snippets - its up to you to look further into these and where you can apply their logic for your requirements / the needs of your development project.
Practice makes perfect, you should put in additional time to practice your new found knowledge and experiment with content which you are shown. This will enable you to adapt it and overcome any potential challenges you may face throughout your programming career.
Clean documented code is key. You should always take the time to keep your code clean, indented and well documented - we will cover this, but its one of the golden rules for any developer.
