Interview Job Questions, Dieting
The voting is in and by a wide majority you all asked for another Android app contest! Take a look at the rules below for your chance to win both a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch. I pay for shipping to any place in the world.
All you have to do is to make an Android app using any tools you have available. I’ll probably also provide free publicity for the best apps submitted.
In this tutorial I start building a common request being a Translation Web Service. This will allow you to translate into up to 44 different languages. I also cover how to use UTF-8 encoding with MySQL and PHP.
In this video I set up the database and create all of the functions we will eventually use with our web service. You can download the 6000 + word language files here. All of the code follows the video. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 4
In this part of my web services tutorial, I provide both a non-WSDL SOAP server and a REST Web Service Example program. The goal is to keep everything simple and easy to understand because many people are confused by both.
I decided to avoid covering WSDL (Web Service Description Language) because it is very common for these to be generated by software. I also decided to focus on just the GET method with REST because it is most commonly used. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 3
In this part of my web services tutorial I cover 2 ways to create XML from a database. I then show a simple example on how Remote Procedure Calls work.
If you missed the previous web services tutorial, where I showed how to work with JSON data, you should watch that first. All of the code used in this video can be found below. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial 2
In my web services tutorial I will cover generating JSON and XML. We’ll then walk through examples in which we use REST, SOAP and RPC (Remote Procedure Calls). We’ll pull data from databases and if you haven’t seen them I have videos on PHP, MySQL and using PHP with MySQL.
Here I’ll focus on how JSON is structured and demonstrate how to pull data from MySQL and then generate and decode JSON using PHP. The code follows the video. Continue reading Web Services Tutorial
Sorry I haven’t made any videos for a while. I just wanted everyone to know I have an eye infection and I’ll continue the tutorials as soon as I’m well. Hopefully that will be this weekend 🙂
Previously I covered the vast majority of both PHP and MySQL in 2 videos. This time I decided to bridge the gap and show how to simply grab data from and edit data in a MySQL database using PHP.
We specifically cover creating users with limited access for security reasons, setting up secure database connections, pulling data from a database, adding data to the database and prepared statements. All of the code follows the video below. Continue reading PHP MySQL Tutorial
Previously I covered everything about the core PHP language. This time I’ll cover everything about Object Oriented PHP.
I cover classes, objects, attributes, methods, static, private, public, protected, __construct, __destruct, magic getters / setters, overring methods, final functions, __toString, interfaces, inheritance, extends, implements, polymorphism, clone, abstract and more. Heavily commented code follows the video. Continue reading Object Oriented PHP
Hi Everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be making videos and I won’t answer questions for about a week. A very special person past away and I want to spend more time with my family.
Please if you know anyone that has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. Force them to stop eating meat, dairy, eggs and fat.
I tried to help and I failed, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Don’t give up on your loved ones. Keep trying so they can live a long and healthy life.
After thinking about this for weeks I have finally decided on the winner. It was very hard for me because there were so many beautifully made videos. I was going to go against my word and vote for the best made video which in my opinion was this one. I however originally said that the winner would be the video that made me laugh the hardest.
The video that made me laugh the hardest was the one below. I apologize for not being able to give you all $900 in prizes because you all deserve the prize. You are all amazing people and I feel very honored that you’d take the time to enter my contests. Continue reading And the winner is
I have been really struggling with who should win the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for my video contest. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone out there would give me input on who should win.
Please leave your vote in the comments below. Please only vote one time. Please don’t use social media to try and get outsiders to vote for you. I want this to be an honest contest. Thank you so very much to everyone that participated. You all did an AMAZING job 🙂 Continue reading Pick the Best Video
As many of you know, YouTube recently changed the way commenting works. I go out of my way to answer every question that I receive, but now if you leave a question on YouTube chances are I will not receive it.
I still very much want to answer your questions and so there are a few ways to guarantee that I receive them. If you send me a question on Google+ I should receive it? If you leave a question however on my website I will definitely see it. Continue reading New YouTube Comment System
The other day I was told it was impossible to make a great 2D scrolling platformer game. While I could name numerous great ones, I figured I’d do a review on one of my recent favorites that many people haven’t heard of. So today I present my Mark of the Ninja Review!
I by no means plan on making many video game reviews (It is surprisingly hard), but I wanted to try and make one today just to see how it would turn out. I hope you think it is fun 🙂 Continue reading Mark of the Ninja Review
The other day I didn’t have time to make a video tutorial, but I wanted to upload something. A great game I recently started playing called Don’t Starve lead to a video you guys seemed to like. (I Gave 1 Copy Away for Free)
I really like games and I’d love to give you guys something. That made me wonder if you’d like me to give away a game at random every week? I’ll still make just as many video tutorials, but I thought this might be fun to add on as an extra video every week. You tell me what I should do in the vote below.
Because you guys seem to love games I thought I’d Don’t Starve game walkthrough. This game shows you just how great a 2D game should be. When I start making games, I’m definitely making a game similar to this.
So often beginning developers try to make Atari type or first person shooter games. This is a great example of an easy to design game that has amazing depth. There is so much to learn about game development by just playing this game. I hope you enjoy it. Continue reading Don’t Starve The Game
My wife gave birth to my second daughter tonight at 9:52. Her name is Ivy Veronica and at birth she weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces.
The whole process went extremely fast. My wife alerted me to contractions at 6:30 pm and we were at the hospital by 7:25 pm. She received an epidural at 9:25 pm and about 6 minutes after the doctor walked into the room she was born!
Here I end my XML Video tutorial by covering complex types, sequence, groups, and a ton more! I also show you how to design schemas and XML files using the Eclipse design tools.
If you missed the past tutorials, here they are based on topic: XML Video Tutorial, XSL Video Tutorial, XPATH Video Tutorial, DTD Video Tutorial, Entity Video Tutorial and part 1 of my Schema Tutorial.
All of the code from the video and more follow the video.
Most people get really popular on YouTube, by posting video’s of their baby on there. I thought I’d do the opposite.
After recently getting made a YouTube partner, I knew I could finely post my baby’s first year video.
It’s amazing how helpless they are, and how much they enrich your life. This has been a very special year and I hope you enjoy it with me, in the video below.
Doug wrote in and asked, “What is the Best IDE? I’m looking for a Free IDE that allows me to program in Java, C++, Python and PHP. I’ve tried a bunch of open source IDE’s and was looking for your opinion. Is it worth spending money on a Programming IDE like Coda?”
For anyone that doesn’t know, IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. To put it more simply, an IDE is used to write computer programs. They are used to help developers avoid syntax errors and for debugging purposes.
Hello Internet! I’ve been wanting to do this article for a while. I didn’t because I instead felt the need to provide an article beneficial to you rather than myself.
Well today I’m going to be selfish!
