I started learning about web development during my furlough days from work this past year. fortunately, the furlough days are over but I am still continuing to learn about web development. The site I am using presently here is not one that I have coded, but I will likely migrate some of it over in the next couple months. I am taking classes at The Glendale Community College and learning on my own. I’ve got the basics of HTML, CSS, and a back end of PHP and Maria DB (MySQL). I’m taking a class for javascript in the spring so I’m hoping to have my full stack capabilities by then. I am still figuring out the appropriate way to configure the back end though since the book I got (Murachs) seemed to really focus on procedural programming methods (YUCK!!). The Murach book for HTML and CSS was great, but the PHP book really left a lot to be desired.
One of the reasons I have decided to dive into this is also because the document control system at my work uses a WAMP stack. We have not had anyone able to change or add to the program since it’s author left the company years before most of us started working there. I’ve begun adding a section to it for making Export Control determinations (USML questions and CCL questions) for our drawings and products.
