Advise on Web-design

Web programming. In particular PHP. IE how good does a person learning PHP need to be to get a job as

a) A Junior
b) Midweight Dev
c) Full Dev
 
All great advice so far :)

PHP and ASP means that you design and build interactive web pages, form processing, interacting with a database and much more besides.

I did the same level 2 and 3 for the C&G certificates in 2007-08 then quit work to do a full time degree which is now at coming to the end after lots of hard work :eek: although I must stress that a degree is not really necessary (a mate of mine is entirely self-taught in ASP, SQL databases and the rest) nor is it for everyone.

We have covered aspects of design such as typography (very important), colour theory, composition, trends etc. as well as developing projects in Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator. Other topics included AJAX, XML and mobile devices.

I think the important thing would be to work through the excellent online tutorials out there to get familiar with the concepts. Here is a great one for PHP on YouTube to get started with PHP:

Thanks for this, I will check out the you tube clip when I get home from work....they block most sites :(
