A Little PHP For the Designer
We work in a strange and unique industry where the right and left hemispheres of the brain must be engaged on a regular basis to complete the tasks we are given. If you have too much programmer in you, your designs will suffer and it you have too much designer in you, your functionality will suffer.
For now, let’s focus on the designers. If you are a great designer, then you need to be a good programmer to survive in new media. You don’t need to know how to hack into the pentagon but you need to know your way around. It will make you more valuable and more efficient. Even if you don’t plan on doing any programming yourself, you still need to know a little bit so your designs won’t frustrate your programmers. All that being said, here is a great newbie tutorial on PHP to get your feet wet. I know for some of you super artistics this is like pulling teeth, but it’s worth it.
