  Standard Set Answer:

  I have always wanted to learn PHP alot better, but have never really had the time.  By participating in this program I hope on achieving better understanding of PHP, JS, and MySQL.  For years I used pre-made software (such as e107 and drupal) to get all my work done, but I'd like to have the ability to code and create my own scripts, and understand the full use of PHP and MySQL.  

  I am interested in helping but I'm afraid my skills wouldn't be enough to help with the guide oganization.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I'm always interested in how one tackles a project like a social network, or any web application really. I've built a few of my own applications for personal learning, but I figured this might help me to further grasp some of the technology.

   

  I hope to refine some of my PHP and overrall web skills. I've had a lot of experience with static sites, and some PHP framework background, but, again, I don't think you can practice and refine this stuff enough.

   

  I may be.

  Standard Set Answer:

  I used to have an interest in web design, just using photoshop and basic flash animations. Then I stopped when I hit a road block with flash scripting, and realised i needed backend web development skills, not only design.

  I have a general idea on how web sites, and hosting work, but wouldlike to start learning the fundamentals on how to develope websites for a career job, personal use, and business in the future.

  I have no idea how this site works, so I pobably wouldn't be much help as for becoming a guide.

  Just a guy trying to stay current in web development...

  Location: Whistler, BC, Canada

  Standard Set Answer:

  I've worked with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, etc. on simple applications but I'm interested in improving those skills, learning new ones and integrating multiple languages to create better pages. I would be interested in contributing to the guide -- I'm a professional writer and amateur web developer, and my concern when reading manuals and textbooks is the lack of readability. I think I can help with that.
