I'm a front end "developer" meaning my advanced programming knowledge is pretty close to zero. I've been reading over w3schools and it's sinking in, a little. I've heard that you're better off deciding on a project of your own and learning as you create it (like a forum script or something), but I'm not sure really where to start.
Anyone have good recommendations when it comes to books, online literature, tutorials, or just have some tips for me to get pointed in the right direction?
I'm also wondering if it's advantageous to learn Javascript _before_ learning PHP. Right now, I'm just a Photoshop to HTML/CSS and some VERY minor jQuery guy. I think it would be useful for me to pick up Javascript as well.
I really want to branch out into web application development, though, as I have numerous ideas in my head and no way to implement them!
