Hi.

I am looking for books/videos/articles,etc that explains how to build real web applications from A-Z. For example how to build a forum, photo gallery, small social website, shopping cart,etc.

Could you please tell me where can I find such stuff?

CS Geek, how much experiance do you have with PHP? If you don’t have much, then a book like “Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL (4th Edition)” would be as good a starting point as any. Also SitePoint runs PHP courses. There is also a few articles on the basics on the main SitePoint site.

The things you are interested in doing can be achieved by learning MySQL.
I suggest buying Larry Ullman’s PHP 6 and MySQL 5 book to begin with.
