Hi All,
I am fascinated with the WWW today and I like learn about more the creating and maintaining websites as much as I can.
I'm in my 30's and not from the I.T. industry so I am no expert.
I am looking for a course that will cover the basics of Info Technology and progress on to, from creating websites and maintaining it.
As I understand there are others programs like Javascript, PHP, SQL and whole lot more. I just do not know what it mean and where to start.
I like to learn to "walk" before I start "running" so I decide to seek help from u pple out there.
Please recommend any part-time courses (Certification, Diplomas, Advance Diploma) that can turn me into a 'webmaster'.
or if someone is willing to teach 1 on 1. will pay on per lesson basis.
Thanks. -

I do not know if I am under/over paying you.
willing to pay on per hour basis or we can work something out.
e.g. I pay S$7 an hour and you own whatever assignments you give me.
It is like you are getting paid with someone doing your job. -

IT covers a very wide area. Even web page design alone covers a huge area.
I would suggest first reading up on the areas that interests you online before investing money into learning it. At least you would know what exactly you want to learn.
If you are sufficiently determined, there is nothing about IT you cannot learn online and most of the time you are able to experiment unless the equipment used is very expensive.
Personally I have learnt HTML, PHP and javascript online. Its not that difficult once you know the sites to visit.
BTW, I'm a computer idiot. -

I have gone thru Dreamweaver and I have some knowledge of HTML.
My idea is to create a website to sell products and services and forum column.
so I will need shopping carts (can be scripts or expensive software that i may not know how to use) and knowledge for forum columns. Dreamweaver only covers basic web. For forum column which would be the best?
I have some friends (getting to know more) who likes/wants to moonlight.
Afew of us wished to combine our resources & specialties and offer it to the world.
let me go for lunch first and I will let all of u have further idea of what we want. -
Hi all,
futher on the topic.

Therefore we are seeking for your help.

Actually if you and frens juz wanna do online selling, then there is no need for so much trouble. A typical auction or buy/sell online sites will do u all just fine already. Sgforums buy/sell emphasize the products you sell muz be pre-owned but how they check rite?Originally posted by andros3110:I have some friends (getting to know more) who likes/wants to moonlight.

Most forums are based on PHP, that's why they are called PHPBB.Originally posted by andros3110:Thanks for the suggestions.

As for an e-commerce, you will need to know how to make it secure. -

As for shopping cart, I used php to create a member registration, log on, etc etc etc, yada yada yada...
The codes can be easily found online, or if you insist, can be created easily on your own in php.
As said by another forumer, your biggest problem is how to secure it.
So far all that I have said cost you little very little. -

I will thank you you name in my prayers, if you can advice how to go about doing it. Or at least some links that I can read.
I am no computer geek, so it might take a while for me to understand.
There are just too much to read on the internet with so many sites.
do you still use yr Home PC for hosting? any problems.
I thought of doing the same. Any advice on this? -
no, home pc is not sufficient for web hosting other den early development.Originally posted by andros3110:Wow! Thanks!

look for a shared webhost, like www.sgwebhosting.com.sg or www.sgdomain.com.. -
If you have installed IIS on your PC, you can use it for hosting, though I would not recommend it. You can use IIS to test whether your PHP files work correctly.Originally posted by andros3110:Wow! Thanks!

Focus on one task at a time, get a solid foundation in HTML, then move on to the rest.
If you would like to get your website hosted, try this web host: http://www.bravehost.com/ -
still, is there a place to learn all this?
any good school around? -
Just google and you will be able find a lot of things that are good enough for basics.Originally posted by andros3110:still, is there a place to learn all this?

If you really want to learn, you can consider FireIce's suggestion. -
borrow books and learn. i started with html ---------which makes me feel more interested to learn--------->xml ----->js---->applet------->flash----->SQL

Firstly, I am using a home connection, that means low bandwidth and cannot take commercial load of traffic.Originally posted by andros3110:Wow! Thanks!

Another thing is I am using a dynamic IP address, that means that I will need a service to constantly inform the DNS servers whenever my IP address changes.
It is not practical for your purposes, you might want to consider paying to pass this headache to someone else, its more viable to get a web hosting service.
As for the programming aspect, since I have some basic background in programming, it was easy for me to simply look for codes online to learn PHP and HTML. You might need to start with the Dummies guide. I mean no disrespect to you by that suggestion. What I do not tell anyone else is that, I too started off with the dummies guide.
