I’ll let you in on a dirty secret: my first paid programming task was to make custom modifications to an oscommerce shopping cart. I cut my teeth on PHP that weekend and learned through trial by fire how much good, clean code (with no global variables!) matters, and how much it really SUCKS when everything is in the global scope. I always died a little inside each time I had to make a modification… I once started refactoring the code on the side, but gave up after a month. It was just so… intense!
