The week started off not as I had planned. I couldn’t get focused on the initial task I have set myself, to create the crib sheet with relation to PHP and MySQL. For the time being I put this to one side and started getting down to learning from my resources.

I found my first period of sustained reading on PHP very productive, the first 100 pages of my book seem to fly by in no time and I have managed to put together some nice little files showing me what I’ve learned. A bit like a code library for me to reflect back on when I need to.

Unfortunately, the MySQL book didn’t go as well as I had hoped 5 pages in I wasn’t feeling I was understanding much at all. On the way home tomorrow I will be stopping off for my reserve book as I think this will help me to get to grips with the database side of things.

My time today was mostly spent learning more PHP and I feel I’m making good progress on this side of things.
