Group Workshop Training
Learn as you build your website. This course is aimed at the first time builder and gently guides you through 1StopHosting's method of setting up a website. Learn as you build your website is the easiest and most practical way to learn with the benefit of a working website when you have finished your course. It is a well known fact, you are more likely to learn using all your senses on this practical hands-on approach rather than just studying books. Doing both theory and practical together makes understanding easier. Once the basics are understood then you can progress to a higher level.

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 are 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 can be held 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. Disadvantage needs a little bit of
planning to setup and discipline to use which is not a bad
thing. The greatest advantage, it keeps the styling in one
place and ensures consistency between pages and changing the CSS changes all the pages without the hassle of editing each
page individually.
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.
