* The best editor is the one you get on with best.
* The efficient organising of code, test routines etc is /down to you/
* The efficient structuring and documentation of code /down to you/
* Don't rely on a single PHP book. Simply, there are two PHP
programming paradigms :
1 Snippets of PHP inside HTML
2 PHP programs generating full pages
* Use PHP 5 not 4 (4 works but 5 is more OO-ish)
* By the time you've done your first project you've got the same amount
of exploration still to do to become reasonably good. Don't think that
doing something is the same as doing it well. So you need to keep on
trying things, reading articles, understanding security, considering
when to use various libraries and seeing if any of the various
frameworks are suitable.
