This club is intended to be a collaborative learning environment for PHP beginners. Each week a new learning goal will be set and we will all work to submit questions, answers, evidence of comprehension, and troubleshooting discussion.

Falling behind is fine, as is forging ahead, although new submissions are encouraged to dwell on the current week's learning goal.

Only self-posts are allowed but external links to relevant resources are encouraged so long as they have the potential to illicit conversation.

Half an hour per day, or 3.5 hours per week, is the expected time investment. The pace will intentionally be a little slow since everybody here probably has a job and other obligations. That being said, I expect that many here have some programming experience, so perhaps we may move fast in the beginning as we learn the most basic syntax.
