dear all

i am (very!) new to programming and literally approached html & css a couple of weeks ago for the first time;

i am looking for php resources to engage with kirby asap  
anything from useful, simple, “baby-steps” videos, books, pdfs, even kirby resources are very welcome;

seems like youtube and amazon are full of videos and books but one can easily get lost;

what i’m looking for is to set up a basic website with digital products download (wav audio files); possibly relying on merx for that part

Welcome to the community!

I would highly reccomend Net Ninja on youtube which has a free course on PHP which you can find here: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4cUxeGkcC9gksOX3Kd9KPo-O68ncT05o](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4cUxeGkcC9gksOX3Kd9KPo-O68ncT05o)

If you look at the main channel page there are lots of other free courses including on thml and css, javascript and much more.

Also the Kirby Cookbook guide on creating a blog is a good place to start as well as the Kirby’s own youtube channel
