Completed Projects

www.marsue-wildlife.co.uk : This is a project that I spent the summer of 2007 working on. It is a fully functioning website with a full Content Management System built from scratch for the use of my parents. It documents their own journey through wildife giving them a place to broadcast their pictures and build a repertoire. It uses a MySQL database for most of the stuff with a strong PHP backbone providing the dynamic aspects.

Works in progress

Useful links

I believe that any kind of programming should be accessible to everyone, and therefore from here I will list the many sites that have been crucial to my own journey through web-development.
www.davesite.com : This website provides an amazing introduction to html and css for the absolute complete beginner.

www.hudzilla.org : This website was key to furthering my knowledge of php which I had previously learned from alot of experimentation.

Tools of the trade
The best tools that I have used so far for programming PHP were Dreamweaver which can be obtained at a cost from Adobe, and also most recently to my pleasent surprise and much joy Expression Web which is available to students for free from microsoft via the DreamSpark website as part of the expression studio, or for a price otherwise.

The best free products are notepad++ which a google search can bring up, and also the eclipse foundation has a Program specific for PHP

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A CODING ENVIRONMENT to get the best out of PHP, with enough patience and just your normal text editor is more than fine to program with. My current editor is infact Vim which is completely free and built into linux.
