Famous Internet Programmer

Archive for the ‘advanced php programming’ Category

With an associates degree in IT specializing in web design. Basic Java, advanced HTML, CSS, PHP and other programing languages and roughly two years experience. My degree is in web design, but with actual programing and scripting knowledge, would I qualify for a web developer position?

What are the low end salaries for an entry level and how is the market in the south side?

You mean jobs specifically on the south side? Ha…

As a web designer in LA, you’ll be happy to get work no matter where it is. Associates degree vs a full BS in computer science matters less than your overall experience and how many examples you can show of your previous work… you’ll need hosting setup to display your work to potential clients. You’ll most likely end-up contracting instead of full-timing, so be aware of that.

Most web developers need server-side scripting as well as database knowledge, so you may not qualify for a developer position without MySQL. Your PHP is the most valuable of the skills you list, so it better be fairly advanced. Basic JAVA won’t help you much.

You might make between $35,000 to $45,000 as a web designer doing contract work if you bust your butt and get good contracts. LA is an expensive place (I live there), so plan accordingly.

Good luck!

I’m a freelance web developer with expert knowledge in PHP. I’m looking to turn my focus more toward software engineering which is really what I went to college for. I took C++ and Java in college and have studied numerous other language as a hobby like ActionScript 3, ASP.NET, C#, VB .NET, etc. I was wondering if anybody could recommend me some excellent books and/or resources on something like C++ or Java (which I assume are still the more in-demand languages. Correct me if I’m wrong please). I feel I already have intermediate knowledge of both languages but I would like to see some case studies of the languages being used in larger applications and uses of the languages. Thanks all.

For advanced c++ , you should go through some books :

1. Effective C++ by Scott Meyers & More Effective C++ 35 New Ways to Improve Your Programs (must have)
2.C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices By Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu

3. Effective C++ Third Edition 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (must have)
4. Exceptional C++ Style 40 New Engineering Puzzles, Programming problems and solutions
5. Effective STL (must have)
6. Exceptional C++

For Graphics Application development , you should go through these books :

FOR NATIVE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (AN OLD TECHNOLOGY AND ALSO COMPLEX WAY TO DEVELOP APPLICATION {DIRECTLY DEAL WITH WINAPI }, BUT IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR CONCEPT AND LEGACY)

1.PROGRAMMING WINDOWS BY CHALES PETZOLD (This is old way do develop GUI based proggies , native one’s , no one use these technologies , since they old and complex)

2.Microsoft Press-Windows Via C C++- Jeffrey Richter

3.PROGRAMMING WINDOWS WITH MFC BY JEFF PROSISE (This is also old way do develop GUI based proggies , native one’s , no one use these technologies , since they old and complex )

For DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS USING .NET technologies :

1. MS.Press.Microsoft.Visual.C++.Dot.NET.St… (This is new way develop GUI based proggies by using .NET , good one , auto managed code by CLR)

2. C++/CLI In Action

Then after you should try some more .Net books like new tech in .NET called WPF:

1. Unleased WPF 4 by Adam Nathan

P.S : .NET books i told are for beginners , if you want to go more advanced , then you should go to some Developer communities and read some more articles , also about some more .NET books

also ,
If you want to learn about .Net, I would prefer to learn C# rather than C++.

CLR via C# by Jeffrey Richter because of all the details about how not only C# but also the CLR works. 3rd edition adds a lot of useful info on threading and the new parallel extensions.
Professional .NET 2.0 Framework by Joe Duffy is very similar to Richters book, so I like it for the same reasons. Unfortunately it is somewhat dated now.
C# in Depth by Jon Skeet is an excellent treatment of all the stuff that the two others do not cover.
The C# language specification (get the book for the annotations). A must read.

I hope this help ))

I’m new to it and I’m not sure how to properly do this properly. I need help to build the following PHP code. Please help.

1- Write a PHP program that goes through all integers between 1 and 100 (excluding
1 and 0) and displays each even number on a separate line.

2- Re-write the program in question 1 but this time use a function to go through the
numbers and display them.

If I can get at least the first one from someone that would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!!
Thanks Sean, but how do I display them on a separate line?
What’s the difference between question number 1 and 2? What would I do different between them two? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

just a simple loop with a modulus function

for ($i = 2; $i <= 100; $i++) {
if ($i % 2 == 0) {
print $i . ‘html break tag’;
}
}

sry the actual html break tag wasnt showing up

as for the function part

function printEvens() {
//stuff from above
}

and the difference is you just put the loop in the php part on the first question the second question you put the function in the php and call the function

For web programming? Which is: easier to learn and more efficient? I’m new to programming. Also, what can I do with these languages as far as web development goes.

P.s: after I learn one of these, will it be a good idea to learn Python after since it’s more for applications, and will it be a better idea to learn python first and then one of those two? Thankz in advance!!!!!

Python and Ruby are much more common for newer web apps than PHP and Perl. The Django and Rails frameworks are far more comprehensive than PHP. And PHP is just a simplified version of Perl anyway. Also, Django and Rails promote far more secure practices than PHP. Many sites written in PHP are vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks, which is a simple hack that allows people to steal all your info.

when I use <a href> <a/> , it doesn’t POST the variable to the destination. it only go to that page without any process. I could also use dropdown list with 1 submit button.
Thanks in advance.

Use cookies, http-header, GET, POST, AJAX and I think that just about it.

How long does it take to learn how to program in php? Also, do you have to get special software etc. to do it? Or can someone write PHP in a program like Adobe Dreamweaver. Sorry if this is a really dumb question lol. Also, what are the differences in the different versions of PHP such as PHP 2X, 4X, and 5X? Thanks in advance for any answers!

Dreamweaver is very bad at dealing with any server-side script, like Php. Use DW to build your site, then Notepad++ and Php to "make it work".
Php is loosely based on "C", so if you have a little experience of C programming, Php will "look" very similar. It is relatively easy to learn. Go to http://www.php.net to get plenty of examples.
How long does it take to learn it? You can get the basics in a few days. Go to w3schools.com to get started.
There are two ways of running Php:
1. Upload your scripts to a server that has Php enabled (you can then see the results in your browser)
2. Download and install XAMPP on your own machine (google "Apache Friends XAMPP" to get the download. Once installed, you can run php scripts off-line.

I am 15 years old, I have an interest in programming and web design, I can make websites with dreamweaver etc, and have used html scirpts and things but never actually learned how to do php and mysql, besides knowing how to use it, and use mysql database that i’ve used for ready made scripts. I always find the websites I want to make, need intermediate to advanced php/mysql programming to make such interfaces like even a simple CMS. Can anyone tell me where to start, it’s best to start younger, where can I learn? somewhere on computer at home? Also, someone siggested for me to download wamp which i’ve had for ages and xampp, I know how to use phpmyadmin etc and things, i’ve hosted websites and used web servers. I always use premade scripts, where can I learn from the begining how to write porgramme php and mysql? Thanks.

If you have WAMP, you don’t need XAMPP.

I studied PHP and MySQL from this book:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1590598628/

I like it. It doesn’t bring you to ‘pro’ level, but gives you enough knowledge to help you get you there by yourself.

I want to learn how to use MySql, Php, BB code, and codes like those, but in easy and effective way. I have prior knowledge, so feel free to post slightly advanced links too.

That’s like a teen-ager asking how to be 50 years old quickly – you can’t do it quickly, whether it’s getting older or learning programming. To see what you’re asking for, read http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf That’s the best programming course ever written. (No, I didn’t write it, and it’s free.) Figure on at least 6 months to get through that.

MySQL is a program, the language is SQL. Figure on a few months, at least, to learn the basics of SQL (the things that 95% of SQL programmers stop at). PHP is trivial once you know programming, you can "learn" it by keeping the php.chm file open as you work. BB code is about as difficult as learning to count to 10.

But learn programming first. If you want to build a house, you don’t learn "hammer", you learn carpentry. Don;t learn the tool (programming languages) until you’ve learned what to use tools for (programming).

hi , can anyone tell me what programming language that r mostly used in security & forensic computing ? , currently i’ve learnt Java , C and vb.net , do i need to learn langauge like Phyton , PerL ? or maybe markup language like (X)HTML ? (php , javascript etc ) ? thanks in advance

If you are looking to generalise in security and forensic computing you are gonna have to ask yourself what languages are out there and what hardware are you going to specialise in? What kind of devices will you be looking at? What sort of programming languages are those devices platforms used to manuipulate and control? And who will that attract at the unauthorised-user level?

There are a whole lot of languages out there and it’s just not practical to learn every one of them, so you have to narrow the field, pick out those you’re most likely to come across in your working life. (Obviously that is going to have to change to keep up with the march of technology…)

Java, delphi and C/C++ are a definite, as are the Windows/Unix/Linux platforms they run on …for now. Why? They’re everywhere! But, so too is Python, and maybe to a lesser extent Perl. But again – it comes right down to which sort of devices you are going to be asked to look at.

Other than desktop PCs and Macs, Mobile phones and other devices are widely used – but so too are hi-tech static devices. More importantly – what sort of hardware is currently used (and what about the future). What is most likely to be used by the wider group of users, and how does that relate to the smaller, more highly-skilled users with criminal intent.

You are going to be making some pretty risky decisions. You’re bound to make a few mistakes – but hopefully there will be more good decisions based on your research.

Good luck

Hi Everyone!

I will like to know which is the best Web Development institute in India (Mainly in Bangalore and Kolkata), what are the prices and their course durations ? Please don’t tell me CEGON, i have a very bad experience with them already.

Language or Programming details : JavaScript, Ajax, PHP and MySQL.

Thank you in Advance.
