I want to learn to build website with php or framework.
What’s good, learn php first or framework first like CakePHP?
Thanks.
From my personal experience I learned PHP first, but I really haven’t learned any frameworks (yet) though I really haven’t had the need to do so. However, my suggestion would be know to learn the very basics of PHP and then choose a framework to go side-by-side while learning PHP more in depth. Someone here will be better at suggesting a good framework. That way php and frameworks will become second nature, for I wish I had done that. For now I have a hard time wanting to learn a framework or I when I do attempt to learn a framework - I go to myself “I have to write all that code just to get to there when in my own scripts I can get there faster with last lines of code”. Though I am getting a nice library of classes that uses namespaces that I can transfer from project to project and with only making minimum amount of changes to the code. Though I do wish I would had taken the time when I was relatively new in php to learn a framework or two.
