What I’m Doing
Creating a Website (Part 4: The Coding)
Congratulations, you’ve made it to the final segment of this tutorial series. In the first part, we conceptualized our website. Then we designed it. After that, we wrote the XHTML and CSS for it. Now it’s time to turn it into a WordPress template using some PHP.
Creating Contact Forms With XHTML
Here’s another nice tutorial for beginners. In this one we’ll write the markup for a simple contact form that you could use on a website. Nothing too complicated or fancy, but we’ll talk about how we can add some nice effects to it easily using CSS. We’ll use PHP to have the form send an email when it’s filled out. I’ll also talk about what we can do for form validation.
Understanding OOP
Object-Oriented Programming, or OOP, is a programming method that utilizes the creation and implementation of object classes. Object classes can be customized and instantiated as many times as needed. For example, let’s say we are programming a system for a bank (albeit a very simple one). Well, a bank is going to consist of customers. Each customer is going to have his or her own bank account. With OOP, we can create a bank account class that will give each customer a unique account. When you create a class, its constuctor generally takes parameters. For instance, a bank account constructor might take an integer for an account number, a string for a name, and a double for a balance. (more…)
Recommended Reading
That’s right, as in those things that are filled with pages that have words on them. Books. I’ve been starting to accumulate a good collection of coding, design and UI (user-interface) books, and I thought I might share with you a list of some of my favorites or perhaps the ones that I have learned the most from. There’s no doubt in my mind that the publishers of these books will include my acclaim for them in future editions (just for the record, I’m not getting any kickbacks for this, but wouldn’t it be awesome if I was?!).
