Hi my name is Greg. I'm fairly new to php, and web development in general. I've done a fair amount of OOP as a Flash developer, but all the php I've written has been very basic. I've done just enough to know I have a lot to learn. I just downloaded Reactor today and watched the tutorials, and realized I have even more to learn, but that I'm in a unique position to learn fresh. I recently got a project to build an online catalog and I think it will be an ideal learning project. I've started building the database for one category of products and created the basic design, now comes the fun part.
I looking for sage advice for a newbie starting his first MVC project using codeigniter.
-When you started using Reactor what mistakes did you make that I should avoid?
-What do you wish you knew when you started developing in php?
-What are some good resources?
-What are the biggest pitfalls and things to avoid?
-...and any other helpful advice
I know this is rather broad, and may have been asked before (if so point me to other threads), but I'm sure a thread like this could be useful to many.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning a lot and being as useful to this community as I can, as my skills grow.
