What’s up?

As web developers, we should be making websites, as comfortable for users as we can.

Would you like to log in every time you visit Facebook or Instagram? It takes a lot of time! Following the example of those websites, let’s implement “Remember me” functionality as well.

As web-developers we code (or used to code) pretty frequently in HTML. Within HTML, you’ve seen some elements, that have a closing tag

<div></div>

But some, don’t

<br>

or

<br />

Why is that? Let’s jump right into it

Hi there, what’s up.

In our coding journey, we use many tools. Compilers, libraries, browsers, IDEs and code editors

Some are provided, “as is” while others have powerful modding community. They add new extensions pretty much every day

And that’s what I’d like to talk about today - I’ll present you with my personal must-haves in VSCode setup

Hi there, have you ever written an admin panel for your website?

There is one interesting statistic I personally like looking at - view count

We’re proud to see people enjoying themselves while using our product, aren’t we?

Then, we ought to know how many people do we attract

Hi there - have you ever seen “infinite scroll” mechanism?

You know it, you can scroll forever through posts (and ads), like on TikTok or Instagram

Is there some magic going on there? Nah, it’s just code

Today, we’ll be creating such thing - and I’ll also talk about how it works. As it’s possible because of AJAX

But, what is it? Let’s dive right into it.

Welcome - Whether sadly or not, that’s the last part of this series

We’ve finally come to an end - today I won’t be talking about PHP itself

You know, when we were writing a code, we’ve always had .php at the end. Like /login.php

But it can be better

Have you ever looked at the code and thought, “What is this mess”?

After a while, you can even say such thing about your own “masterpieces”

But remember, code review is part of the journey and a perfect way to become 10x developer

Hi there! Welcome back to another exciting part of our PHP journey.

As in previous article we’ve learned a little about OOP theory - today it’s time for practice

Welcome again - we’ll learn something new today

This article is purely theoretical - I want to familiarize you with OOP and its basic principles

Passwords accompany us on regular basis.

You know, every day we have to use them. If not them, some of substitutes ex. physical keys like Yubikey.

Even though code security is frequently mentioned - we still hear about recent breaches/hacks and new vulnerabilities are disclosed on weekly (if not daily) basis.

Most of web breaches work pretty simple - some endpoint was not sanitizing passed data properly, it lead to some code execution and then attacker somehow read whole database and it’s now for sale on the dark web for $1000.

But, what failed? How did the attacker extract data? Can we protect ourselves?

Today, we will get to something chill and easy - so we can rest a little after previous 4 parts of, intensive work.

We’ll focus on creating clean code and dividing it into modules

Learning database connections draws to an end

Today I’ll show you pre-installed extension to PHP called PDO

It’s (in my opinion) better way to connect to the database

Hi and hello

Today we will test our knowledge from 2 previous parts (and add something new.) What will it be? We’ll be writing login script but in 2 ways. More about later in this article

When we have SQL database ready - let’s start learning language itself

SQL, as mentioned earlier, stands for Structured Query Language

It looks a bit like a sentence in English

Now, we need to learn actual syntax and how to use it

What’s up - welcome in another part of this course

Today we have a very important topic - using databases in PHP

This part is an introduction - there will be 2 other parts, strictly about coding

Do you remember, when in part 2, we have written this…

Hi The new year has come But now, let’s focus on coding - new, fresh topic today

Plenty of data consists of text - that’s why we have strings Their presence allows us to modify and just do whatever the hell we want to with it

The sixth part of this tutorial is here - today, a very important topic. Loops

Hi, hi. What’s up?

Today I’d like to bring you closer to the topic of PHP exceptions

Welcome. That’s me again and I have something interesting to show you.

Have you ever dreamed of being able to create a variable based of a value from another variable? No? Me neither.

Welcome, time to learn again.

I think that everyone heard, that you don’t need math in web dev. And that’s a little tricky Even though yes - stuff like linear algebra or some advanced calculus may not be the most valuable knowlegde for us, yet mathematical logic or arithmetic is very useful

Welcome back This time, our main focus will be storing data in our code. There are many ways, in which we can do it and today - I’ll show you some of them

Finally, in the third part we start learning PHP

Today we will be creating a simple script for checking user’s age, based on their input

Hi, what’s up? If you ever coded in PHP, you definitely had created a code as simple as this

What’s up? Welcome in another part of this course

As we’ll be using PHP for web-dev - there is one more thing we need to talk about

So let’s go - no need to waste time

Welcome again - Let’s begin our journey

What will we do today? Sorry, but not coding yet

We’ll be setting up our PHP development server. Then we’ll test if it works

Sooo, there will be some code.

Welcome again.

I’d like to introduce you to a new series - a full PHP guide.

Hello again - welcome in another Coding DIY in PHP

Today we will be making simple DM system

Hi everyone. Today I’ll show you how to write a basic login form in PHP

In my last post I mentioned prepared statements. Now, let’s expand on this topic and see how we can implement them in our code

When we start our journey with programming, we don’t really think about coding styles and best practices. We just copy style of our teachers/mentors

You know this mindset “It works. Don’t touch it”, but let’s see how we can improve some of often-written lines, with much shorter and better-looking code
