gr8 stuff and very help for you. Thanks friend.

Right choice! PHP and Mysql is suitable for a learner without any programming background. I would suggest you to get some video tutorial from lynda or others.

Wish you successful,

Thanks for sharing the link. w3schools is a very useful resource.

Totally agree with you. w3schools is the best place to learn. They have things very well explained with examples too.

There's no fast way. You can only learn the basics quickly which wouldn't really help you code your very-professional-web-application unless you really start practicing.

Now at this point I would like to ask something. After learning the basics, what would be the best way to get into professional web site designing? A level that uses design patterns, software engineering practices, modular design and so forth? I wonder anyone can recommend some books at an advanced level please.

Hi....
Buddy Do not worry if you do not have any knowledge for PHP and MYSQL because now a days so many sites are available which provides you easy way to learn all this and you can search it on internet so from there you can find your answer and just go through all stuff and definitely you learn all that.... Thanks for sharing the post....

I started with the book PHP & Mysql , 600 pages, from beginner to advanced really good book.
