What is the best way to start learning PHP in order to reach the pro level in the end?

Question

Career in IT

I am 30 years old, I know html + css (not a straight mega-coder, but I can figure it out without problems) A

promising position is planned abroad, while I am working abroad, in the Russian Federation I sweep all the jambs and other nonsense. There are almost 9 months to learn from scratch and be able to program like a pro (do not judge strictly)!

What is the best place to start?

I live in the south, near Anapa, Novorossiysk, I looked for travel teachers, I could not find it. I am ready to pay for courses, practice and a specific "driving" into the head of a programming language =)

There are a lot of books on the net, but as for me, "contact" training is better, when you can ask questions and get answers from a professional in your field.

The desire to know perfectly well: PHP, C ++, then Swift

Answer 1

Able to get to the pros in 9 months from scratch even with one PHP, such questions are not asked here. And to become a pro in C ++, you need 9 years, no less.

Answer 2

You swung it, you need at least a few years to at least become an average student, if we are talking about mastering from scratch. In 9 months, a middle or senior will be able to master a new language, but not a beginner without programming experience.

Answer 3

The desire to know perfectly well: PHP, C ++

Almost 9 months to learn from scratch and be able to program like a pro

What is the best place to start?

Take off your rose-colored glasses at 30. Languages ​​people learn and practice for years, and do not know all the intricacies of the language decades later. And here you are so beautiful in 9 months you want to become a pro. Funny.

Answer 4

"I'm 30-something" - you don't know the area, but you are already aiming at the pros, or such optimism or infantilism ...

Answer 5

learn java or c#, there is an excellent interactive course on java - https://javarush.ru, helped a colleague with tasks and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service, alas, I have not seen worthy analogues in other languages

Answer 6

What is the best place to start?

From understanding how the process of creating the architecture of any application works, including the logic of data processing and the selection / creation of algorithms for a specific task, for further writing code.
And only after that, learn the programming language itself, starting with the hello-world application, understanding and gradually expanding the code to match the task.
For example, such a task: to create the simplest storage of text notes with arbitrary fields, with labels / tags and a convenient search for all fields. Minimum layout, maximum useful functionality (layout - just later!).
All training - only strictly according to official documentation!
PHP: php.net
Etc.
