ED2GO.com Online Classes - PHP and many other offerings
For $130.00, I went through the online course at http://ed2go.com  (best money spent!)

If you want college credit for it, use one of the college links to sign and save maybe $15.00.  I took all mine directly.  You get a certificate of completion from it.  The PHP classes were the best jump-start I ever got.  I went on and took the intermediate course too.


USING DRUPAL by Jeff Robbins, Angela Byron, Addison Berry, Jeff Eaton, Nate Haug, James Walker.
That is a long list of names for one book!  Even so, if you are considering using the Drupal Framework, this book will get you well grounded in the basics.  


Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery by Matt Butchner
Matt Butcher has a great way of presenting his lessons.  He approaches the Drupal Framework by building on the knowledge of the Drupal code base, JavaScript, and jQuery, and  through practical examples of how to extend Drupal.  The tools you learn about, relate to a Drupal design philosophy that when understood properly, shows the programmer how to code efficiently. Drupal is a PHP open source framework that is designed through hooks to mesh well with customization.
