Hello everybody! My name is Javier, I moved to the US in my 30's as many immigrants with no money, no english and no family, twenty years later I'm ready to start my new adventure, web development! I have no skills in coding (very basic). I know I will find a lot of knowledge in these forums. Since I was in high school I wanted to work with computers, but never have a chance until now, I love play the guitar and I have an obsession with dominate the Vim text editor (is a personal challenge). My goal is to became a full-stack developer I'm interested in learning HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, Python

I am waking up the forum after letting is sleep for a long while. It makes sense now. Big upgrades coming.

So, about the time when covid-19 started it's mean streak, I decided to pursue my goal of a career change, from pre-school teacher to a full-fledged nerd. Through my life I've been a nerd in hiding so to speak, so I figured out, hey! let's give coding a chance! I found udemy.com and started a masterclass in Java... just to bite off more than I could chew. I followed along the course, to about 60% completion before I realized: I'm following blindly, trying to learn something new, but I'm really not learning "anything". I also realized that the tutor had mad skills when it came to Java, but wasn

No chance. Next question?

48! Just a young pup!!!

Hi all! Life long nerd and new coder here. It is definitely reassuring to see people my age just starting this journey! I'm 48.

Hi All, I've recently completed the Web Developer and Freelance courses. Thanks to Stef, I feel I'm on the right path to becoming a Freelancer. Looking forward to having discussions with you all in this Forum.

Hi Jim, Is the "lastname" column in your "records" database really spelled as "lastname"? Maybe you made a typo. Hope this helps!

Hey all, I'm almost in the 50 club! I just turned 49 in June. It's good to see that I'm not the only who decided to learn code at this age. I just started and I am loving it so far. Wishing you well, Daniel

Hello, guys! I’m new here, nice to meet everyone

Hi! If you did not get your validation email, just email me directly at: stefan at killersites.com ... And I will update your account so you can use the forum. PS: remember to include your forum user ID. Thanks, Stefan

Not for a loooong time. You are safe. Stef

Hi, The project files are on the home pages (course overview page) ... of each course.

I will be a badass and say that there are the fifth way of doing Marketing. I am talking about this way when all the work is done by someone and you just pay for it. I am not ironizing here, I’m just trying to say here that the most valuable thing in this life is not money, not the popularity of our product or websites, firms, no, it’s time. So, if you have time to do it all by yourself, I’m happy for you. I choose to find a place like https://marketingconsultant.com.sg/ and they will do anything I need. For the price they are requesting, I feel a little bit guilty of taking their time. You ca

i dig it because if you're looking for the best answer you can sort by most upvoted.

First draft should be functional website ... but rough. You should have been paid the 33% before delivering the first draft ... as you know. Order of payment should be followed ... as detailed in the Freelance course. Sorry for the delay answering. Stef

Hey , trying to download MySQL but can only do the demo while following the course. Anyone know how I can access MySQL? I downloaded it but I don't know where to access it on my computer rather than the demo. Also when I try to use the demo it displays this message....perhaps it would be better to just use the version on my computer as opposed to the demo:

I'm an experienced engineer/developer and I have worked as a corporate developer all my life, as either a FTE/perm or contractor through temp agencies. I have an itch to go independent and wonder what I should do? There are so many potential routes: 1) Try to parlay my existing skills (backend Java, databases, cloud) and network into contracts with medium and large companies 2) Pivot and get into web and wordpress development. This seems more fun to me than enterprise stuff but the clients would be different most likely, unless I could target the larger companies as well. I am g

i got to it now thanks

I had a difficult time solving this bug, and finally solved it. I'm posting it here to help others who might be struggling with the same situation. Code Source: This code is from the Simple PHP Login System, Lesson 17 & 18. My Setup: Machine: Windows 10 WAMP PHP version: 7.4.9 Code Editor: VS Code Here is my error notice: Notice: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\wamp64\www\phplogin-parts17-18-projectfiles\register.php on line 144 I got that error message when I tried to register a member. The problem lies in LI

Looking to move from working my engineering job to something that allows me more time for family. Own boss and all that. I really liked the youtube videos and look forward to going through the courses and starting to freelance. While I'm hoping to think of a way to apply domain knowledge I have, I figure it might make sense to see what the demand/need is out there and work on filling it. I'm in southern California, so trying to figure out what is in demand in this area.

Yeah, I think it's all about constant practice - which can be tough given there are several coding languages. I've been told that young monks re-read holy texts tons of times in order to memorize them. So, perhaps taking this course once is good, but maybe not enough to reinforce everything to a master degree.

Hello, I recently joined the community. Nice to meet you all. Visit me at- https://stoutewebsolutions.com/

Hello Jim, I understand your frustration. I was able to get through and understand the CRUD basics course. Yeah, 2 months is a pretty rough response time. I assume you've repeated the CRUD course a few times. If you haven't tried this already, I'd put your code in difchecker (https://www.diffchecker.com/) alongside the code you can download from the course. What I do is find a section that is probably giving trouble - it may be small. I'll copy the code I've written, and then copy the correct course code and paste it alongside one another. I tend to do this only af

So here seems to be the stages leading up to $_SESSION['cart'] being set: First, someone clicks a link generated by m_products 'cart.php? id=' . $product['id'] Second, cart.php sees the product id in the url (generated by someone clicking the above link), and calls this function in m_cart.php to add a product: $Cart->add($_GET['id']); Third, m_cart.php starts this function: public function add($id, $num = 1) public function add($id, $num = 1) { //setup or retrieve cart $cart = array(); if(isset($_SESSION['cart'])) {

Hi Stef, Thanks for answering my question. I'll keep that in mind and follow your guide as per the Freelance course (which is a great course by the way!) Cheers!

Hi Hasan, I recently purchased the Web Dev course and I'm happy with it. Prior to Stef's course I wasted a lot of time on various online courses through Youtube, Udemy, and LinkdedIn Learning. I feel Stef has a good way of presenting the material in that he keeps it basic, simple, and easy to understand. Each video is followed by questions to re-enforce the lesson. I also encourage you to take notes while watching the videos. I feel this course is a good way to establish your foundation in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It has given me the confidence to progress, whereas prior to hi

how long is a while? would offer still stand in a few weeks?

Thanks for the kind review! Helped a lot. I think I may just do a form and validate it with JS at the end of the page. But , like you said, it doesn't leave a traceable message. I tried to make the contact button as easy as possible to press and link to my email immediately. Maybe I should put "Email Me" for the button so the user knows what to open it with.What would you suggest? Also, in the footer it contains my phone number and email address.

Newbie here! I'm learning web development so I can make more money to free up time to write comedy, and watch more Law and Order. Good luck every one!

I would suggest getting live hosting and installing WP there.

Hi Everyone! I'm a Graphic Designer from Trinidad & Tobago. No coding experience but that's gonna change soon! Built my own WordPress website using a visual builder now I want to know the code that makes it work. Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

I've been meaning to post this for ages as a riposte to Stef's Ruby bashing. Finally remembered it on the right day of the week! https://youtu.be/_ca0l5KMdX0

Good afternoon everyone, I was working with the PHP x MySQL course and noticed that if you change the root password from default 'root' to your own unique password. it automatically locks you out. I already am aware some may read this and think why not just leave it like that then change it later for production; that is the catch-22 of this situation. Because if you just go with the flow of it, you are setting yourself up for problems that could arise from any rootkits hidden on your computer that inject malware and trigger DDoS at any moment. I'm still trying to pinpoint but google has

Hi everyone, I have completed 2 certifications for this month HTML and CSS, my next course will be JavaScript. Then after JS course I will try my hand at freelance after I take Stefan's freelance course.

Thank you for helping me! Is the CSS properly linked on line 6 here?

Thank you. I have figured out the problem. Turns out this is correct. Thanks for your time!

Welcome!

If you're using Linux you'll find out pretty fast that MAMP isn't an option. If you try to install the alternative, Ampps ( https://ampps.com/downloads ) and it doesn't work, as it didn't for me this week, try the page linked here. If you're a complete newb like me when you began here this page is excellent for it's clarity and succinctness, just take your time. https://io.bikegremlin.com/12127/lamp-stack-mint/ If you have a struggle with the path/link to localhost/php see the comments.

python is valuable in a variety of different career not just as a programmer. Being a programmer is the most obvious way it can help you, but it's not the only way. If you want to become a software developer that utilizes Python developer and Research Analyst.

I've seen quite a few of Stef's Youtube videos and from what I can tell, they buy coffee.

We may have some disruptions as we install new features into the forum. Stef
