A few questions from the newby

[MattSheppard]

Hi everyone,

Just a few questions from a newby, I've been a phpBB user for years, and in the last year I've started really using PHP, so I now write HTML, CSS, jQuery and PHP (and a few of the other necessary evils); I was wondering if development is still going ahead on phpBB and how I get involved in helping to develop things for future releases?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hey Matt,

the area51 main page on http://area51.phpbb.com has a "Get Involved" section with more information about how to help, any help is certainly appreciated. In case you want to follow develop closer, the git repository for phpBB 3 is on GitHub: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3

Regards,
bantu

You don't know jQuery until you know JavaScript

I know some basic jQuery, I did begin learning Javascript properly because at first I couldn't get a hang of the jQuery library syntax, but, much to my distaste, my boss told me not to, so I got my head around the basic stuff, variables, functions and so on, then just learned the jQuery syntax

The deitel book isn't bad either as a js introduction.
