Hmmmm...
You people seem to be talking about different things. Training someone
*to be* a programmer using the PHP manual... would be a very hard thing
to do. Teaching a programmer *how to use* PHP not so difficult.
As far as I can see PHP.net manual is really an API, which is one of the
best API documents I have seen. The authors of the docs should be proud
as it is quick and easy you use. Yet, I think PHPGB is talking about
teaching someone to code PHP who comes from a HTML/design background.
That manual won't be able to achieve that. In my time people went to
University for 4-5 years to learn that, and learn it well. OO
Programming for example isn't you every day type of content, and even
with all the literature available for it now. It's still a tricky
concept to grasp.
So lets not argue, PHP doc is a great API. And for PHPGB, there are
plenty of simple tutorials on the web which can assist with mastering
PHP from the ground up.
Cheers,
