Found a great article on i-Hack.org regarding Searching Google Like An Expert and although I knew a lot of the commands the Author Zeus talks about, I honestly really never used them with Google, opting to be lazy and just type in what I am looking for.

After reading the article, I decided to try it out, and find some PHP Tutorials, but I didn’t want web pages, I just wanted to search for PDF’s, so I typed this simple query in the Google Search Bar -> PHP Tutorial filetype:pdf

Seems simple enough, and bingo, I got tonnes of good PHP Tutorial PDF’s, awesome. I should use some of these techniques more often.

Below is a couple links to PHP Tutorial PDF’s that popped up from my search :

PHP Handout

PHP Advanced Tutorial

PHP Programming

There are tonnes more, try it out and let us know if you find a great tutorial.
