That is for sure the easiest way to start. Then Go to any of a number of
sites for scripts and tutorials.
webmonkey.com and phpfreaks.com both helped me get started. Sourceforge.net
is one great place to get scripts that you can use, modify or investigate
for ideas
Don't over look google and doing code searchs to find code that you can use
in your scripts.
God bless,
