Learning Blogging

[ramone_kalsaw]

I'm working with Expression Engine and I've gotten to the point where I want to take advantage of its power, but find that I don't naturally think in "back-end blog speak."

 

For example, I need to be able to work with "conditional "if-then" statements, and understand the logic behind stringing "tags" together. I'm already doing the basic "searching" on the EE site for representative examples, but that method is too hit and miss.

 

My question:

 

Can you recommend any books and/or websites that provide a focused treatment on blogging-related scripting and logic, with examples?

 

Thanks!

The conditionals you speak of are not blogging specific but programming issues. With EE it is specifically PHP.

 

If you want to learn php you can read through php.net or buy a book about php. Here is a tutorial about using conditionals in php.

 

A google search on "tutorial php conditionals" also brings up a slew of results. =)
