Well I've been around XOOPS since just about the beginning, although registered in late 2002 I think.
I was originally a Nuke convert.
Through out this time and running many XOOPS websites, you kinda get used to the code, now I'm not talented enough to code from scratch, but I'm normally able to edit, change, the modules & cms to suit my needs.
If it's a little over my head I normally ask here, 9 times out of 10 it's something simple I over looked in my tired state, lol.
There are php and MySQL books to buy and read, there are also websites you can learn from for example:
http://w3schools.com/Some people learn quicker than others, unfortunately I ain't one of them, lol.
Any way I shall stop boring you now, lol.
Take care
