PHPOpen.net

PHPOpen.net is a directory for open-source PHP Web apps. I've selected PHP Agenda as a candidate for understanding how PHP works. (Because it's small.) There's no way I can even pretend to be able to hit a June 15 launch for Depatenting, but by God I'm making progress.

Essentially, there are five languages involved in a modern LAMP/WAMP application: HTML for presentation, CSS for style, SQL for data storage and retrieval, Javascript for local actions, and PHP for server actions. So far I have decent representation (although not yet complete) for two of those languages. Honestly, I could get away with ignoring CSS for now. But that still leaves two languages I haven't really mastered.

Until I do, I'm not ready to move.
