Hi, for those of you that have checked my introduction post, you will know that I am an Art Director that just knows a bit of programming...

While I might know some I do not speak the programmers terms/language...is there a good reference that anyone can point me to where I can get terms in regular English...

For example:

I know when I might need to do something like

PHP Code:


			
$this -> and_stuff_here;

But I have no idea what "$this" actually is called or why I really need it, but I know I need to use it when I use it...(did that make any sense at all)

Thanks.

***EDIT***

NM I found the glossary…this may answer a lot of my questions…

Thanks
