    Web Programming with PHP (guide for non-engineers)

    HTML and JavaScript are frontend technologies. PHP is a backend technology. They're not competing. PHP can be used together with HTML to fetch the data from a database (PHP) and display it (HTML), for example. And HTML without PHP (or, for that matter, any other backend language) is only good...

    The best way to make f*ck you money, Entrepreneurship or High paying employment ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm pretty new to entrepreneurship. Haven't made a dime, yet. I've been working and enjoying every minute of it. It almost doesn't feel like work. Why? I do it for myself. I know where I'm going. I know why. Nobody is denying that doctors make a relatively good income. It's just a different...

    Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice

    MINDSET 
    As a programmer (somebody who can program, in my definition) who wants to start his own businesses, this was a great reminder. Often, we get too caught up in the great craft(s) themselves rather than the value they create, which is ultimately what people pay for. To quote Jack Diederich: "we...

    A Comprehensive Guide To Learning Web Development

    So, Why Should You Use a Framework? If you're a beginner, chances are, you don't know what you're doing. Frameworks take care of a lot of stuff for you. This is where my advice for the frontend and backend vary: I wouldn't recommend a javascript framework getting started. Most times, you'll be...

    How deep does this "FAKE GURU" market actually go?

    HOT! 
    The problem with this entire thread is that everybody has a different definition of 'guru'. What is a 'guru'? Somebody who teaches something? Somebody who teaches how to make money? Somebody who pretends to know it all? Somebody who sells a program teaching how to make money? If we have this...

    A Comprehensive Guide To Learning Web Development

    Getting Into The Backend The backend is where the magic happens that nobody sees. Almost everybody will judge your application by the frontend and not give a crap about what you've done to make it work. Think about how much is going on behind the scenes of a theater, from costumes to scripts to...

    The Dreaded JavaScript Do you have a project in mind you'd like to build? If yes, think about it: will it involve components that need to change dynamically (i.e., without refreshing the page)? Then you'll need JavaScript (it's NOT the same as Java. They just have similar names). Anyway, I had...

    A Comprehensive Guide To Learning Web Development

    Good question. Planned to answer it down the line, but hey, let‘s do it now: youtube, blogs, stackoverflow, google are all great resources. Personally, the first courses I have taken were all on youtube. The approach I have taken is to first identify what I want to learn. Pick one thing. Let‘s...

    A Comprehensive Guide To Learning Web Development

    Sure, I know about Fox. Great guy, but he covers mostly web design as far as I can tell, which I am not that good at (yet). The future posts will dive deeper into the backend side of things required for creating more backend heavy applications.

    Text Me Dad Jokes - would people pay?

    Hm, problems are relative. Isn't boredom a problem? Also, there are enough WANT businesses out there. With that said, I don't know what the problem here could be. Maybe a lack of joy throught the day? Althought I don't know whether than can be solved with a single joke.

    Hello I'm YoungnBroke

    INTRO 
    I see where you‘re coming from. But I think that books, conferences, videos, courses, whatever, can be equally powerful. You just have to take the extra step of applying the lessons yourself on your own stuff. Also, people are very willing to help you and critisize your, in my case, code and...

    Hello I'm YoungnBroke

    INTRO 
    True. I‘m still in the same shoes (for one more year) and the only thing my school is trying to do is get me to sign up for university. Learning programming on my own combined with entrepreneurial efforts will pay larger dividents down the road. I‘d encourage you to try to think about a skill...
