Guide to Business

Posted by Jordan | Educational Articles | Thursday 4 September 2008 12:44 am

Hello again! I will provide a simple guide that every person that goes into business should know.

Well, let me put it to you this way. Don’t ever provide your beliefs, opinions, or exchange thoughts of another person within your job. This can, and possibly wil,l end you in some way. How? Basically you give out your opinion to a friend of yours within your job. They will either keep it to themselves being loyal to you, or will go say it to someone else because they don’t believe in your opinion/belief. A boss can overhear, and may not like it either. So, the best way to express yourself is in either two ways. One can be not to express yourself at all, or you can suck up and say you believe in what they believe. There is nothing wrong with it, and it can keep you from easily losing your job and may help with future promotions.

A great way to successful jobs is by working hard. The harder you work as a young adult, the better job opportunities will show in the future. Don’t be lazy and just fiddle around during your free-time. It’s best to learn new things that work around your job.

As an employer, it is best to keep your employees happy but you must maintain your role. Either they are stuck there to work, or they will leave. You must also maintain a professional environment. Having employees shout profanity around a client or customer or joking around should be the end to their job. You work for yourself as well as the client. Your client is the number one priority, so you make them happy to keep them coming back for more.

I’m not an expert within business, but as I have shown, I know the basics. I understand the reality in which a job holds. Hopefully you enjoyed this article as much as I have writing it.

Google Chrome

This pretty clean web browser, from which Google released, is currently in beta. It’s released to the public and I personally think it has great concepts overall, but I think it needs A LOT of work to compete with the other browsers. I say it’s level with IE6. However, it is still in the beta stage. If you would like to learn more, click here.

PHP - The Beginning

Posted by Jordan | Educational Articles | Tuesday 2 September 2008 8:17 pm

To get started, you need the basics.

Okay, to get started, you’ll need to write the opening and closing tags.

<?php
?>

Thats is very simple to do, and now save your file as ‘index.php’ to your server. Now, you’re probably wanting to output something. We can use echo or print. I’ll use echo for starters.

<?php
echo ‘Hello world!’;
?>

This outputs the following string, “Hello World!” (no quotes). Now you’re probably wondering about variables (or not, but you’ll need them).

<?php
$str = ‘Hello world!’;
echo $str;
?>

This will also output “Hello World!” (no quotes). You can set many different things for your variable. Integers, strings, and other things that we will get to talk about next article. For instance:

<?php
$int = 1;
echo $int;
?>

Simply put, this will output the number 1. You can make this interesting by using IF and ELSE conditions.

<?php
$int = 1;
if( $int == 1 ) {
echo ‘Hello world!’;
} else {
echo ‘Goodbye world!’;
}
?>

Woah! Now we got a little far there! Anyway, to explain, you set the $int variable to 1. “if( $int == 1 )” (no quotes) basically checks to see if something is something. By this, it will check the variable if it equals 1 and then it will echo “Hello world!” (no quotes). So lets say you change the number to something different. 2? Okay. This will echo “Goodbye world!” (no quotes).

Lets say you want to check the opposite of something. In this case, lets say we want to check to see if the integer set by the $int variable is 1. We can do something nifty here. We can basically use an ELSE method without actually declaring it.

<?php
$int = 1;
if( $int != 1 ) {
echo ‘Hello world!’;
}
?>

That basically means, if the variable is not set to 1, then output “Hello world!” (no quotes).

Just work with it for a little bit while I cook up another article. The next article will go into using forms to process data and use it to output the data.

Review: The Bucket List

Posted by Jordan | Fun | Tuesday 2 September 2008 10:38 am

Watched this movie last night and I must say, this movie was great. Great storyline, actors, and more. The only problem I felt watching this movie was we didn’t get to meet the characters as a whole. We find out they have cancer, they are treated in the hospital and so on. This movie stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I really enjoyed this movie because it had a fun-laugh side but still kept you to a limit with a nice story of a very rich man and a complete stranger helping one another.

I rate this movie: 4/5

PHP - Discovering PHP

Posted by Jordan | Educational Articles | Tuesday 2 September 2008 2:44 am

Just now discovering PHP and you’re interested in learning this unbelievable useful programming language? It’s very easy to get used to.

Some tools you may need are personal home servers. These are simple applications that install all necessary tools needed to edit your web application, save it, and easily access it. It makes things much easier.  I have a personal favorite: Xampp. Easy to install and run. If you aren’t satisfied, uninstall it and then install Wamp. Both are very useful, but as I said Xampp is my personal favorite.

Tomorrow I will write another article about starting programming with PHP. See you then!
