My video tutorial on how to create dynamic pages in GoLive, that I mentioned earlier, has now been posted.
The tutorial will not make you a web developer, but it will help you set up your development environment and walk you through some of the basics.
At the end of the tutorial you will have installed Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin, created a database, connected to the database, and displayed records from the database.
To watch the tutorial please go here.
I have always believed in video tutorials, seeing and hearing how something is done always beats reading about it.
When I got the Adobe CS3 Master Collection it came with a gift, 31 days of lynda.com tutorials, and now my eyes have turned rectangular!
I must have spent 40-50 hours learning Dreamweaver, Captivate, Contribute, new stuff in Photoshop, etc, etc…
The lynda.com tutorials cover at least 100 different applications and include all the Adobe software, from Acrobat to Photoshop. The subscription is only $25/month, money extremely well spent!
I strongly recommend you to visit the site! They offer some free "appetizers", check them out and you will have a good idea of what quality level their tutorials are on!
Many Adobe GoLive users seem to think that working with server side scripts and databases is something only Nobel laureates do.
I'm trying to change that by making a video tutorial covering everything from setting up a local Apache server, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin - to connecting to a database and displaying the result.
This new tutorial will not make anybody a web developer, but hopefully it will make some people think - "that wasn't so hard!".
I'm currently making the last edits to the video and it will soon be posted at www.GoLiveCentral.com. I'll let you know as soon as it is available.
