I'm a small businessman in a very big, competitive city. I have an idea for a web application that can really enhance my business if I can get it written (I have no programming experience at all). However, I find that the expense is too large for me to pay to have it written for me. So, I found an online tutorial for html and css. These two written tutorials got me started - I learned some tags, but not how to write a web page. I then bought a php/mySQL book for beginners. I worked through all 400+ pages and the accompanying CD. At the end of all this work I was intellectually excited to continue learning, but STILL could not do anything functional for my business.

Then I found killerphp.com.. I did their php and mySQL videos and WOW - I got real, usable information in a structured format that makes perfect sense. I just purchased the web design video from killersites.com and can't wait to get started. By the time I complete all the videos I will be able to write a web page and connect it to a mySQL database using PHP. The video instructor, Stefan, is a talented teacher. He has created a resource that is perfect for the beginner that wants, or needs, to get some real work done.

"I just wanted to say thank you for the descriptive post on dynamic and static pages. I am a new employee
in a development-oriented NGO and it is my job to do all the research on CMS capabilities for our various sites and as we
get more complex in our services, so do our needs and thus, the programs we work with. I have to teach myself new jargon and
learn about different functions at every step of the way and your piece was very helpful."

"Your website is so good. Your explanations in ordinary language are very, very helpful to a neophyte
such as myself. The real exercises, e.g. creating a page from html is fun and alleviates the apprehension that Ive had
about venturing into what has seemed to be a mysterious and complicated process."
