Ever wanted to code in various langauge? Well you can start here!

I will be teaching a range of programming langauges from : PHP, MYSQL, C/C++, Javascript and abit of HTML.

Ive added some quick tests for people to do, just answer them and PM them back to me and ill mark and give you feedback.
PHP

PHP Designer : http://www.mpsoftware.dk/downloads.php
(You dont need this program for the tutorial but it is recommended)

Begininers

(Note the brackets i was talking about were curly brackets I.E. { } )

Test: Click here

Arrays

Let me know when you get to C/C++, I really want to start learning that, but I don't have the patience to read all those tutorials online, lol.
 
That's really cool that you teach PHP. I might drop in a few questions later :)

Your voice is kinda low (as in silent) :P

Note: You don't use your own webserver ? Or do you wanna save yourself from explaining that.. :p

I can but it doesnt run avi files properly as its streching the movie which makes the frames lag, so i use youtube instead.

Array's lesson complete uploading now :P

EDIT : Array's tutorial added

all languages are sort of similar. Once you know one of them, the next will be easier. They all take time to learn correctly though and require lot of patients (because you can and WILL get bugs). So if you don't want to do tutorials or read books, then you wont really learn anything.

I agree. The only big difference being object-oriented versus procedural programming, which you'd find the latter in older programs . However, many programs are OO, and even have multiple paradigms such as C++ and Java, which are object-oriented but carry procedural elements as well.

I'd say if you're not willing to hit the books and read tutorials and make programs you aren't interested in (Such as a program that finds the Pythagorean triples of every number up to 500 - that was a fun tutorial!) then programming isn't for you. What should interest you rather than what the program does, is what the program is made up of...declaring variables, looping mechanisms, calling modules, etc. That's the fun part of it all, at least in my opinion.

It does take a lot of patience to jump into C/C++ if you haven't even touched a programming language before (HTML is a markup language, doesn't count :laugh:)

But seriously, if C++ tutorials are too much, I'd look into Programming Logic/Pseudocode where you learn the basic fundamentals of boolean logic (IF/THEN, AND/OR, etc) but don't actually get your hands dirty and program. Great for beginning.
 
True, but i wouldnt say theyre similar, have alook Perl and C++ theyre totally different. But its true that if your not willing to read books or do tutorials then theres little point in trying programming, but it all depends on the programming langauge. Alot of people want to do C++, which ive been programming for about a year now, but i find PHP more engaging than C++ in my opinion, but i also enjoy Pascal but not many people would share that opinion so i dont bother doing tutorials for.

PHP (File Upload added via Veoh)
Test Added for begining video.
 
I wish they taught this at my highschool xD
All they teach is HTML coding and I know that stuff already xD

Depends on what your talking about...

Compiler creators got smart and started using the same syntax for your basic stuff. An if statement is written the same in C/C++, Perl, java, javascript and several other languages.

I'm a big fan of perl. I've professionally developed with it for over a decade (I have an undgrad in computer science and a masters in software engineering).
 
I have used my fair share of languages and I have to say, the syntax is pretty similar in all of them (except XHTML/CSS). C++, PHP, and ActionScript have a lot of similarities.
 
No offense, but your PHP coding habits are annoying. :P

ALWAYS use single quotes, unless specified by a function. Placing 10,000 string elements into an array with single quotes, as compared to double quotes can be 20-30% faster.

(X)HTML, and CSS aren't programming languages. They're markup.

Good tutorials though. I still can't read the actual text...which is frustrating.
