Announcing

COURSE OF WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

We had the intention of launching a programming course, essentially on Php, in order to help the designers.
Big Mistake!...
Over the last ten years, I have seen thousands of websites, analysed thousands of client's requests, checked thousands of so-called "developer's" code, and I have seen soo much crap that makes your mind wondering where these people have learned their trade...
In fact, the real need of web designers is not another course of any kind of language, but more a course on "HOW to plan a successful Web Application".

In this course, you will learn, not how to use fancy gadgets, but how to PLAN your work, from de design of the specifications (in a practical form), the acceptance form (to insure your client does not "diverge" from the terms of the contract), the betalog (to help your mark the progress and report bugs or problems), the graphical interface (what the user sees), the coding itself (to learn the good practices), and, finally, how to assemble all these bits together to end up with a fully blown application that can be a success!
This course encompasses the five stages of web development: Specify - Design - Develop - Test - Approve, a rigid sequence of events that too many "Developers"/"Designers" fail to follow, (or do them in the wrong order), entering into never-ending sites and client discontent...

As such, we will cover the study of developing clear specifications, Site layout, Marketing strategies, Design through Photoshop (or similar), coding (HTML, javascript, AJAX, php, mysql), testing and procedures to insure site approval on completion.

Register now as a student. The course will start soon.
The first lesson is free, the total course will spread over a few weeks.

Email Newsletter with inline images and link back (2010-01-21. 15 downloads to date)
A relatively simple way to set-up a newsletter, in AJAX. Design your own HTML newsletter, insert images that will be shown in-line in your message and can be links to other websites or pages on your own, and include an "Unsubscribe" feature that returns to your site and mark the user as having unsubscribed to your newsletter (it's polite to do so!)

World IP database (2009-10-15. 26 downloads to date)
A collection of various free databases, re-arranged and organised, in mysql and Php. The access program reads your own IP, finds a close-by city, determines the region, province, state and country you are in! Beware: the download file is 25Mb Zip, and, once extracted, leads to a 125Mb ".sql" file, ready to be uploaded to your own server. You can re-zip the .sql file before trying to upload it to your server, if your comms are not too reliable. Although free download, we will be greatful if you could forward us any corrections (there are, to-date, 236 countries, 257,776 towns/cities, and 3,523,920 IP address ranges...). The program allows you to correct any entry, and sends an automated message to us for any correction you make. We ask you not to remove that function if you install our database on your server: any correction YOU make will improve our service! Thank you!
