I finally got around to begin learning PHP, and it seems very similar to Javascript. So far, for loops, if/else/elseif statements, switch statements, and arrays are the same. I wanted to make sure I'm learning this right if there is anyone else who would be able to clarify this. I want to start making plugins soon, but I want to know that I'm doing this right before I get too far. I know I sound like a total noob, but I just want to be 100% sure
I learned php, but I'm still a total noob....... Lol http://www.bentobox.io/index.html here is a site where you can check out more places to learn php
That's a pretty cool site! I use Codecademy. I did half of the Javascript courses and I am almost done with php. It is very interactive and it seems to work well with my learning style.
You really don't need to know PHP (it's helpful) but all you really need is to study the API documentation and the src folder in your server https://github.com/PocketMine/Documentation/wiki/API-Documentation-Portal I recommend just studying the src though learn and use code from there
That's what I planned to do after I finished the tutorials. I'm already 58% done, so why not just finish it?
This is how I learn syntax because English tutorials about a syntax is so complicated. Basically apart from function lists on php.net I learn completely from others' code.
I learned from a mixture of Codecademy and looking at the API and looking at other's code. I plan on making a documentation of the PocketMine functions soon, but my to-do list continually piles up
That would be really great for us trying to learn the API and I think it would make the API a lot more attractive to newcomers because it is a really extensive and awesome API people just don't understand because it's not well documented.
Mine too, have to do some work at my grandfather's this weekend to so not sure, I hope to have it done by Christmas at the most
