These beginners PHP video tutorials were created for web designers who have little to no programming experience.

Where most other PHP tutorials and books assume you know programming (or at least, that's what it seems like ...) killerphp.com assumes you need to have things explained (and demonstrated) in non-nerd terms.

Order of the videos: just start at the top and work your way down.

Note: please be patient when selecting videos - they can take time to load.
