That php/mysql course is overkill. IMO theming Drupal is 75% CSS/HTML 10% PHP and 15% Drupal Configuration. If you only have a little CSS knowledge spend your time there.<br><br>-Jared<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 9:52 AM, <a href="mailto:saksiri.kridakara@yahoo.com">saksiri.kridakara@yahoo.com</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:saksiri.kridakara@yahoo.com">saksiri.kridakara@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have watched the lullabot and <a href="http://lynda.com" target="_blank">lynda.com</a> videos and have a good<br>
conceptual understanding at this point...along with a little css and<br>
html experience.<br>
<br>
I have not dug in and developed a theme yet, but getting prepared.<br>
I guess what I'm trying to extract is how php is used in relation to<br>
drupal themes.<br>
<br>
With so much else to get my head around, I'm hoping I can somehow<br>
learn just what's necessary for theme development so I don't have to<br>
read a whole additional book.<br>
<br>
For example there is a <a href="http://lynda.com" target="_blank">lynda.com</a> php/mysql course but that might be overkill?<br>
