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.
