Nothing much to be said about me. A bit of a recluse, really. I like to learn new things. Things I like include but are not restricted to: Star Trek, X files, Western Rpgs, Vinyl, etc.

Standard Set Answer:
1. Seeing the power of php throughout the internet made me interested in learning it myself. I wanted to be able to harvest the power of this extremely versatile scripting language. Having read some books on php in the past, I feel I have yet to cover the basics of the language in an adequate way. Hopefully, this program will fill me in on the many gaps of information I possess so that I may one day contribute as well. Web designing in general, is a very fascinating subject to me that I wish to eventually master. That being said, one cannot get there alone. Mastery of a subject requires time and dedication but also it requires a friendly hand or two in the right direction.
2. I hope to achieve a good understanding on the basic structure of PHP. I want to be able to build websites ground up. Using a variety of php techniques and eventually frameworks to get the job done. Most of all I want to experience a sense of accomplishment that allows me to sit down and look at what I've done and be proud of my work.
3. I have quite a bit of free time, so I wouldn't mind helping out with course organization. Still I would like to get a feeling for the course and the language first. If you should find yourselves shorthanded at anytime, feel free to contact me.
Public Set Answer:
I want to learn PHP primarily for myself. For a long time now I have been fascinated in computers and technology in general, however, I had forlorn any productive pursuits in the area. That is not to say I have not attempted to learn any programming languages (mostly through self teach), I just feel that my efforts thus far have been less than satisfactory. Hopefully, this course will the kick in the leg I need to jumpstart my web designing journey. I call it a journey because I acknowledge it is a process that will take time; one that will most likely require me to travel through various different topics and areas.
I want to one day be able to build and automate blogs, manage databases with php in conjunction with SQL and build a variety of other useful web scripts. Eventually, I want to contribute to the community that enabled me to learn PHP. As I believe if life gives you something it is always best to give back to others so that they may benefit and profit from what you have.
