Hey Thanks a Bunch guys, I am going to play around a bit with this stuff ad see how I do If I have any more questions I know where to go much appreciation!

thanks for the input, i didnt know that about windows, as you can see the learning curve is large, when downloading the php software which one should i download it seems like i had some choices between windows binaries or complete source code??? Any other suggestions?

ahhh sorry i know it uses php....i looked up some info on here and it has been reccomended that i practice by rebuilding a test site on my computer but i am unsure of even where to start with that i guess also to practice with some of this i was looking at some things to download but i don't know where to start, it said i should download php 5, a MySQL server and an Apache server, my current store is run on a remote server (LuxSci) should i download any of this stuff??? heh heh as you can see my problem ,i know some of the stuff i need to know but lack some of the basic knowledge to get me where i need to go!

Hello all....I work in an Underwater Photography store and one of my job's consists of the IT end of things. I am comfortable with HTML with a basic to intermediate understanding. My predecessor built the store. It is an X-cart store with a MySQL database. The store software is outdated and needs to be updated. My boss is very cheap and won't want to pay someone to do this, plus I feel it would be better to take a the time and learn this programming as the update isn't that bad that it restricts me from devoting some of my time to the learning of this and be able to work with it easier in the future. So my question lies here:Does anyone know where i should start attempting to learn? My prefered resource would be online and free, I wouldn't mind purchasing a book to help as well but I just don't want to buy 10 books at $30 bucks a piece!!Any suggestions would be great.... my email is lee@uwphoto.com if anyone prefers to communicate that way!Cheers,Lee
