Is there a good strategy to studying PHP?
For instance, is there a way to break everything down into small

Just build what you want to build and look things up when
necessary. The
biggest part of learning any language is becoming able to
creatively solve
problems within its realm of possibilities, and that's something
you can't
really learn just by reading and solving textbook problems. Hands-on
experience is a very important key to understanding.
Keep an open mind, ask people for answers if things get difficult,
always
assume that there's a better way to do something, and in a while
you'll be
able to write perfectly decent programs.
This is the route I have been following for the past couple years
and I have
always assumed there is a better way to do something and that is, in
a way
what makes me lose confidence.
I always feel like my code is crap and sometimes even ashamed to
even show any
of it.
I feel the some way sometimes... when I look back on some of the stuff
that I wrote when I first started compared to today.... it's amazing
the difference in such a short period of time... But I take comfort in
knowing that I have stuff looking nicer then it was when I started...
I'm making progress :)
