PHP or DIE!

I am a web designer by trade. I write web sites using a number of programming languages - HTML, DHTML, XHTML, XML, CGI, PHP, CSS, and others. My favorite has to be PHP. It can just do so much. Now, it needs to be said, that I've never taken one professional programming class. I'm self taught and that may be evident in my work.* Maybe I need to get some professional PHP training. Sure there are plenty of free online resources, and even some fairly inexpensive books - but the classroom setting has always been the most effective and efficient way for me to learn - especially when that classroom is equipped to offer hands on experience.

* BTW, please don't judge my ability to build web sites on this blog. It's just a Blogger template.
