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

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

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

If you drop the Killer...you need to return the frog!

This was a useful video I found a few weeks ago and I got a lot from it: 17 Sublime Text Shortcuts and Tips The text version he mentions is here: http://GitHub repository: https://github.com/michaelcheng429/17-sublime-text-tip PS: Let's call it 18 tips: 18] Removing a plugin from Sublime text 3: This afternoon I had to do just that and was almost demented until I found the answer below. It's mind-boggling how many people can't answer a simple question like "how can I remove a package from Sublime Text" without getting into a slavering fluster and unleashing lectures they

Hi, I recently started the php videos and as stefan suggested to go inside the conf folder and search for display_errors and turn it on, i did it but was not able to see the errors on the page, i was surprised and kept repeating for some time, then when i searched for the word php.ini in phpinfo file i saw it showing a different path --- Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.8/conf/php.ini The file was actually inside the bin directory php directory and so on, so when i went inside there and changed it , it worked, just thought of sharing it as there are 2 locations where you find th

Hi everyone my name is Colt. I've been a subscriber on Stef's Youtube channel(s) and an instagram follower. I just finished the interactive developer course and am currently working on Studioweb projects. After completing the course and completing some self study I would like to break out and start freelancing albeit it might not be ideal timing.

Just do the first 1-2 jobs for free, so you can train. You can follow the guides and templates I provide here: https://school.studioweb.com/store/course/complete_freelancer Once you've done one or two small jobs, your confidence will jump. Stef

I believe we will have a huge boom after this.

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

Thanks for posting!

That's true re the constant practice, and I like the monastic analogy. The master level of knowledge may be a stretch, or may not, but reaching a level of competence that gives confidence enough to make a living from these skills would be an achievement in itself. I need to pay less attention to external uncertainties too such as Covid, Brexit, and in Scotland the threat of a hostile UK government. This isn't really the place for politics so i'll stop there. One thing I'd like is to get to the end of 2021 and think, well that was a bit too beige.

Thanks fra168nk! I came to that conclusion as well.

Good guess. Typos are common source of errors.

You will be needing and IDE where the other end of the pair is hightlighted automatically after you selected one. That and perhaps even being able to collapse code based on the brackets it is in between. There is some getting used to being able to discriminate groups of code with the naked eye to some level. But using only that is crazywork

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

All sorted, too tired staring at it for too long.

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

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.

Installing LAMP On Linux Mint Open up the Terminal You should see a folder entitled apache default Again open up the Terminal This will open up a file called testphp.

Do the fundamentals. They all pay well once you are in the job. If you are a great JS developer, you make big money. If you are great Python programmer, you make big money. If you are great C# programmer, you make big money. On the flip side: If you are a bad JS developer, you WILL NOT make big money. If you are bad Python programmer, you WILL NOT make big money. .. You get the idea. Learn the fundamentals here: https://school.studioweb.com/store

Hi, all! Well I've had the web developer course for a year now but stopped shortly after starting the Javascript section for one reason or another. My work has put me on furlough for the time being so I thought I would take the opportunity to teach myself the web dev fundamentals and maybe get a couple of projects done as well.

Hi all, Jim here just beginning the Interactive Web Developer course. Only the intro done today, will make a proper start with HTML5 tomorrow and we'll see how things go.

I'm new to this forum and to the site as well. I found it when I purchased your Complete Freelancer and Complete Entrepreneur courses. I've been programming and have had a business for the past 20 years. I'm most interested in a marketing course, but always interested in programming courses because everyone can use a good refresher. My biggest issue facing my small company is finding new leads. To those who wonder if this is the right time to get into coding and technology, I would say that it's the BEST time to jump in with both feet. I'm also a network and security architect and hav

Before posting I looked at w3schools found 4 same loops, I just thought there might be more, so for now I will conclude that's all the loops there is in JS.

Yes makes better sense now. I mistakenly thought Javascript was a functional programming language, thanks for clarifying.
