Dynamic Web Design Tutorials Ft Javascript,Ajax,DOM,PHP,MySQL...

So from what you can see above, each step has a zip file which you can download easily, meanwhile, i also made a habit of creating a copy of the important php files into text. Like index.php.txt is same as index.php so that you can view the codes easily without needing to download the entire package.

is this computer moderation really a blessing???

Your students are waiting

Nice Thread,

I can design a plain website with Frontpage without any effects and uploading it to the domain.

But here's a big problem Im having. I need some effects like Javascript on websites, flash,  all those efizis,  I dont even know how to use Dreamweaver or Javascript,

E.g. Submit Button - PHP Submit button I dont know how to upload it to a website. I really want to learn how to design a website with all those effects, flash, scripts,  But I dont know where to start from.

Which software will be the easiest for me to learn and where do I start from?

Hoping to hear from

I have finally completed the Form Validation Tutorial Using Javascript, Php And Ajax! tutorial, so i am not going to explain that here ' cos i am going to make use of it eventually here.
Another thread that directly relates to the form validation is:  Writing Secure Php/*Hacks Feat Yawatide, Nitation,webdezzi,quadrillo,omni:

Those 2 threads are very relevant to this class project. Please go through them before returning here. You might learn a thing or 2.

So at this point, i can now focus on this thread to complete it before starting off the next class project. I dont like dumping everything into the same thread, some things are better done on a separate thread.

So we can now continue with our class project enough with distractions.

That ends it. So next session, we will talk about connection. As in to connect to the database you have created.

I will like to make an announcement at this point that: this current class project is for newbies really to at least
know how to get the task done. So i am intentionally not being thorough or professional here - i am cutting some
corners and reducing codes. First let us get the task done, then after that, we step it up a bit.
People get confused easily if you start putting too much codes into one thread, like talking about sql injections here
for instance will not be fair on those just learning how to connect, submit and retrieve - so we keep it simple for now.

Step 5 is now complete

You can now register, login and logout properly.

demo link: http://www.mwebng.net/demos/dhtmlproject/step5/
download link: http://www.mwebng.net/demos/dhtmlproject/step5.zip

or just use the project explorer/download all the steps: http://www.mwebng.net/demos/dhtmlproject/

Notice that the query when you submit forms is visible in the browser. That was intentional, just so that you see how the data you
posted in the forms is transferred from client to server.
In the next release, the method will have been changed to post, to enhance the security a bit.

I will continue later tonight.

***********  Thread Temporarily Suspended :: I have to clear up some other tasks  **********************

They are on vacation i suspect. . .i am not yet back though. . .trying to reduce workload here. . .

Really. . .i am hoping to be back by the end of next week, i still have my ludo game to complete and others. . .

Guys come cover to DOTNET and enjoy programming life.

@dhtml nice work u are doing here.
I am new to dis thread,this is the kind of thread I av been looking for so as to learn to design website from the scratch without all the shortcut software.

I av used different kinds of software b4 but I found out that they do not give u the full control u need as a web master.Here ismy short story:

I started coding html with Notepad and becos i could not get all the pimping, beautiful grapichs and flash animations properly I jumped to Dreamweaver.

I used Dreamweaver using Fireworks for graphics, Flash and SwishMax for animations but could not attain the level becos I am always having one glitch or the order with Dreamweaver.I also use for all my PHP codes and MySQL but it all got messed up when I wanted to design something big.

So I moved on to CMS started using Joomla 1.x(site that i designed wit Joomla www.kennybroltd.com) and thought it was the best in the whole world not until I found out that to produce something of your own i.e to be original u still had to edit Joomla Templates which invovles Dhtml,CSS,Javascipt, PHP/MySQL e.t.c.

So I decided to start learning everything from the scratch so as to attain the true Webmaster Status.So I saw this thread and I started reading all the recommended materials from the scratch would get back asap.

Thanks

kolex:
have you been there lately? I get, "This Account Has Been Suspended".

FYI

For starters, you could go to the website of the Eric Meyer, regarded as the CSS god, view source and see how he lays out his site: http://www.meyerweb.com/

In general, this is how you learn and is definitely how I learned: Just check out a site  you like, view source, download the css/js/html files, monkey around with a few things, see how it pans out and keep at it.  After that, assign yourself some homework and/or do a site for someone for free.  Before you know it, you will be like the proverbial fine wine, which gets better with time

Good luck!

kolex,

I am but a mere web developer who is still learning.  I don't subscribe to "webmaster", "guru" or any of those titles

What I will say though is it takes time. I have been at it for close to 10 years and I am still learning.  You will always be learning.  The minute you feel like you should relax, you know that is when you don't deserve to be in the trade.  The way I look at it, I am getting old and the only way to remain marketable against the likes of some on this forum for example is to keep learning the latest stuff and working on more websites.  Why? cos the younger ones are more likely to charge less and are exposed to what is in now.   Just keep at it.  Start off with html, graduate to xhtml/css, then javascript, then a backend language (php, jsp, etc).  After that, get into databases.  As you learn at each step, go to like geocities or some other free hosting site and put to practice what you have learned.  Go to sites like www.meyerweb.com and www.alistapart.com and see what's the latest out there.  Exchange ideas with your peers, pose questions, do sites for a client for free on condition that if you do a good job, he/she should market you to others and before you know it (assuming your fingers are the same length as mine, if you know what I mean), you will be on your own road to perfection.  That road however, is crooked and narrow and you must be willing to persevere.  Good luck to you, as you begin your journey of never-ending miles, with your very first step.

One thing I intend to do in the very near future is to organize my own web dev training sessions.  I have seen some of the stuff put out here and I know I can do a better job at making you a competitive web developer.  I will keep you and others posted.

Per my book, sure.  Send me an email (found in my profile) and you will definitely get it within 24 hours of sending the request.

I await.
