So I'm going to be writing some PHP tutorials soon, and through seeing them online I noticed two different ways of doing them: giving the full code then breaking it down, and giving the pieces, putting it together as you go.

So here's my question, which type of tutorial would you rather see, one that gives you the entire code then explains its parts or one that gives you the pieces then puts them together?

Thanks =)

Offer the entire source code for download and the top, and then mention pieces as you go. I think that seems like the best way for me to learn when reading code tutorials online.

I would agree with Nick, I have read a lot of online tutorials over the last few months and I find it easier if you have the full code to refer to as your working through having the pieces explained as you go.

I would agree. I don't like to wait until the end to find the whole source code or have to piece it together myself.
