PHP For Designers By Matt Mullenweg

Writing code is not very different from writing prose or poetry, it's just a different medium and audience. There are rules of syntax, grammar, and style. In English, word choice can make or ruin a sentence. The PHP language is rich in strong and supple functions and choosing the right one is critical. In PHP you should strive for your code to be as simple as possible, but no more. It is a fine balance to maintain but will ultimately save you time and money.

I hope this introduction will demonstrate these principles and expand your understanding and application of PHP regardless of your previous skill.

This is a pretty brief introduction, but a good start with a few very useful links. mjh
