Learning php and css "on the job"?

Question

Is it possible to learn both php and css while I'm cooperating on a website develope? I learned some html basics years ago, but I have the chance to work as web developer only now. I'm actually studying java and I found that php has common things with it (I also had some C++ basics when I was a student). Yeah, maybe it will be only a 3-months contract, but I think it may be a beautiful experience for me. I'm already confident with the control panel, but I know almost nothing about those languages.

Answer 1

my advice, learn the basics of the language (which will take less than a week if you already have experience in other languages) and then learn stuff as the situation arises. eg- if you need to work with the database, learn it at that time. this gives you enough time to learn and get experience at the same time.

Answer 2

yeah, learn through here and complete atleast one project of your choice before starting to work.

Answer 3

Thank you for answering my question. So could it be enough to learn the language basics even through solo learn?
