How about setting the contents for a PHP course? I was in the situation of
giving a course in PHP for a week at Public Administration Training Center,
and found it hard to choose *what* to teach'em. PHP is already huge, lots
of function and functionalities, yet here and there missing docs.

I was thinking it would be truly useful to set up such couse materials, say
for three categories :
        novice -- learn the sintax and the term, general concepts, working with forms
    intermediate -- database interaction, array power,some selected modules,
                   [like imap,mysql,odbc], etc.
        advanced -- OO programming, DB abstration layers, session usage for complex work, etc.
uhm,not very inspired, just an example :)

That would benefit ppl too, cause one can say `oh, I can start with novice first',
and keep his/her mind clear of all the stuff (learning in small potions of `new'
is a Good Thing[tm]) then go intermediate and advanced.

There is already a fairly good manual, sites like upper-design or zend to collect
script and libs, but these should be organized somehow to meet people's skills and
undestanding.

What do you think?
