Resurrection
I finally decided to return to this annoying yet useful world of blogging and tweeting and linked in. I went to lynda.com and started taking the classes to teach you php. It’s been a long time coming but I think my mind is in the right place to comprehend and retain it. The last time I started to learn it I was so repulsed by the fact that I was learning a programming language and not learning something from a creative end that I mentally blocked myself from really absorbing and retaining the information. I like the video clips because the intro was pretty good; why use php, where does it come from, etc. Now I can convince myself that I need php to be more creative, not less. There’s all these websites I want to make but without php, its not going to happen.
I bought my old site www.poeticprocess.org. There are things I want to experiment with using my poetry site. I already learned how to setup an apache server and install php. I’m going to write down what I want the poetry site to do and see if that will encourage me to learn php at an even faster rate. Everything I’m doing is going to be client-side, so I dont have to worry about crashing/blowing up a server because I dont know what I’m doing… yet.
