My boyfriend is a programmer who specializes in PHP development, so my PHP journey began slowly. It was difficult but beautiful. The story goes back four years ago.

Four years ago, I just graduated from high school, so I left my hometown and came to Beijing alone in order to fulfill my dream of English. Although I was alone in a strange city, my yearning for college life was still there. The pursuit of English makes me live a fulfilling and happy life every day.

Time flies so fast, I graduated three years later. For the first time in more than 20 years, I "stepped out" of college, and I was both filled with joy and anxiety. But there is always a first time in life, right? I took my resume with me, increased my self-confidence dozens of times, and then went all out to interview for the position of English editor of a pet company. Because I like pets and it matches my major, I thought this job must be from heaven. Give me a gift, I feel happy. At that time, I didn't know what PHP was. It wasn't until one month after I joined the company that I met my boyfriend. It was a so-called double gain in career and love.

##At first I just knew that he was doing PHP development, but I didn’t know what it was at all, and his salary was much higher than mine. I was envious, thinking how great it would be if I knew how to PHP. It was just a momentary idea, but half a year later I started learning it, yes, self-study.

Now is the Internet era, so programmers are of course the darlings of today’s world. PHP is the simplest programming language in the world. Plus my boyfriend can be my instructor, so PHP is my best choice. .

Someone must have asked why not sign up for a training class? Is self-study useful? Can I learn real skills? These problems were also the problems I started to face. I even went to a training class to learn about it. But after I tried a class, I found that there was no need to sign up for the training class at all, because there were tutorials on some websites for the class the teacher said. I also studied the basic parts of HTML on the PHP Chinese website for a few days, so the class I tried was just like a review.

As you can imagine, I still chose to study by myself. If I can learn on the website by myself, why should I spend tens of thousands of yuan to go to a training class? My boyfriend is also very supportive of me, so I continue my self-study of PHP.

In fact, I also made a lot of detours. I bought books, bought tutorials, and kept watching videos on the Internet, but it was very difficult and I always missed something. Later I found the PHP Chinese website. Although this kind of learning There are many websites, but compared to other websites, it is more suitable for those of us who want to change careers or want to learn PHP. The website itself is equipped with an editor, which can easily execute the edited code, which is extremely convenient. In addition, it also has a full set of teaching videos from great people and many technical answers. The most important thing is that it is free. .

#Sometimes after work, I follow the website tutorials to make some simple pages, and then share them with my programmer boyfriend. He is also very surprised. I thought I secretly signed up for a training class.

In fact, if you want to learn a technology well, just relying on your mouth will not work. You must have a perseverance and perseverance. I once thought about giving up. I am now 23 years old and I am afraid that I will not waste time learning. Until Tencent News once shared an incident about a 60-year-old grandmother who taught herself programming and was still doing development for a large company. Suddenly I Awakening, as long as you are interested, it is never too late.

## I share so much because I want to tell those who want to learn programming but are confused that age is not a problem, major is not a problem, and foundation is not a problem, as long as you have what you want to learn. The truth is that if you are willing to work hard, you can do it and you can become the darling of today's world.
