I had taken a PHP for Web Designers course on Lynda. I thought it was enough. Then I wanted to output the posts on my blog page in a cool way. It took me 2 days to finish that. I learned new concepts that I was never aware of, like pagination, offset etc.

So, I think knowing PHP is not enough, because it is a very unforgiving language. At the start of my learning journey, I saw error pages frequently, and it drove me nuts. If I were to go back, I would have learned PHP much deeper.

Whereas you can get by with basic HTML and CSS. Pretty much everything I learned about those markup languages were through hands-on practice, and Google like crazy along the way.

A fortunate coincidence for developers, they’re actually pretty great, even though their lyrics are pretty hard to translate because of their use of slangs and expressions.

Also, CSS is also a Markup language. Cool for pointing it out on the HTML bit, but you forgot on the CSS.
