Hello.  I have questions about the installation process of Wordpress.  I<br>
installed Visual Studio 2010, Express, and the Visual Studio 2011 Beta,<br>
which does reqire MySQL to be a apart of it.  I have the MySQL 2008.  But,<br>
when I try to bring up Wordpress afgter having installed it on my computer,<br>
after having first extracted the WordPress files, and I then downloaded PHP<br>
from PHP.net, I cannot seem to get PHP and WordPress to also pull up, but<br>
the PHP is needed to be pulld upso that WordPress can then work, properly,<br>
for me to then add it to the server.  Please explain how I can correct this<br>
problem.  Also, are there any tutorials on PHP programmin, and also on<br>
programming in C that are completely for beginners and that are completely<br>
free, not that free tril stuff?  Please let me know this info, as well.<br>
Thank you.<br>

If you are a beginner, and have never set up or installed Wordpress  on a server before I recommend using WAMP instead of running it from scratch. There&#39;s a tutorial on how to do that in the WAMP site.<br>
<br>
As for learning php, I cant think of a specific resource right now but I do know of some great lessons  in JavaScript at <a href="http://codecademy.com" target="_blank">codecademy.com</a> as well that, although not php, is a good introduction to coding.<br>
