If you've delved into the world of dynamic web development, you know that whole Web 2.0 thing... you've probably encountered the fact that you have to learn how to run a local web server complete with PHP and a MySQL server on your local machine to test with. If you're on the Mac, you might have seen that OS X luckily comes with a basic installation of Apache and that using Marc Liyanage's great PHP installer package can get you up and running rather painlessly.

Lynda.com, one of the most useful software video training resources on the net, have added a course on building a content management system with PHP and MySQL. While there are a ton of great online resources available to learn how to use these technologies to interact with each other, I haven't come across a complete guide on how to create a CMS from scratch, aimed at those with only html experience.
