A group workshop - is obviously cheaper since the costs are shared. Before each course we take into consideration
each attendee's capabilities and objectives by sending out a questionnaire so that we can plan each
course to achieve the maximum effectiveness. One of the disadvantage is everyone
has to learn at the same rate and on the same project/subject. The alternative is One
2 One which has the advantage the course is designed to cover the needs of one individual who
dictates the speed and what is to be learnt.
These courses can cover from simple to advance techniques on all aspects of web building- HTML, PHP, CSS,
Java, Flash (movies). Sites can be built from scratch or can use a templates which will cut the build time
providing you can find template you like.
Workshop courses can by run under class room conditions normally in a hired room. In numbers are
kept low so that each individuals receives some personal attention.
One 2 One at your place or ours or can be via the web, email, phone or a combination.
We are
100% flexible everything is designed around you and your aims.
Templates the advantage and disadvantages. Templates will cut the build time but at the
expense of losing the flexibility of purpose built site tailored to the precise needs.
Html code - Websites can be built without any knowledge of the code behind the pages by using
programs like Microsoft FrontPage which hides the code but has the option of viewing the code. There are
many other similar programs. Some page builders use their own format which is converted to html and/or
swf on compiling so that they can be displayed on any web browser. If you wish to see the code which
produces particular web page- just right click the webpage and select view source and the html code will
be displayed. You can learn a lot from this but need a general knowledge of code to understand.
MySQL standard for online data bases quite often used in conjoining with PHP
PHP the page is built by the web server, the page code includes <?php include ("_header.php");
?> for an example. The advantage this saves rewriting the same code for each page. It ensures that the included part is
the same on each page. Also updating the "include" file updates all pages. The disadvantage the page
cannot be fully displayed offline since the page is built on the server. There are many PHP ready made off
the shelf scripts i.e., {bulletin boards, chat windows, etc) available as well writing a special script
to provide a special function.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) As it's name implies is a style sheet that controls the pages.
Advantage ensures all the style matches on all pages. Disadvantage needs a bit of planning to setup
and discipline to use which is not a bad thing. Changing the CSS changes all the pages without editing each page.
JAVA, PERL and other scripts and codes allows many special effects within the page.
Help by the hour - One 2 one tutoring or help on a specific problem or subject normally over the web/email can be
very cost effective.
