Interesting perspective. My husband works for a company with a similar perspective. i.e., the customer better take what is shoved down their throats. It’s a different industry, but the customers are leaving in droves; that 99% type rule is making them leave like there’s a plague epidemic. So I guess it’s just a matter of how you approach customer service. If you’re big enough, you can try and make the customer take what you deem is best. (Incidentally, I’m so not convinced that this approach works, that I have a nice, tidy resume awaiting the husband when that whole mess bombs.) (Incidentally, also, the parent company is in about the15-20 billion revenue range; parent company is called Danaher.)
Obviously, I have JS enabled to use the forums here. I don’t like the interface; I just figured it wouldn’t be polite to hop on here and tell everybody I think the forum interface sucks. Although that’s pretty much what I think. But it doesn’t matter much to me, since I thought about spending money here on their “Learnables” and now I’m not; I just pop over to read and then I leave. They’re happy with their interface, and my wallet’s happy. All good. And if I ever stumble across your red screen of death, I’ll leave. You’ll be happy with your 99% rule, and I’ll be gone, while you contemplate gloves with too many fingers. I wonder if you’ll ever know how many other people had the incorrect number of fingers.
I have 2 website and i want to full build up and popular them. One is about Daily Health Tips and another about HD Wallpapers. I am new in programming for that i start them with wordpress. I hope i will success.
I would suggest that if you all want to continue this JavaScript discussion that you start a new thread regarding JavaScript requirements on the Internet - it’s an interesting topic, one that I’d quite enjoy reading and possibly contributing to, maybe, but it is completely off topic (Says the king of off-topic remarks )
I think doing a tutorial (never seen this one) or two or ten on how they work and creating your own simple one is a nice way to start, especially if you intend to jump into a full fledged MVC framework or something. Having the understanding of how it works is nice (in any programming situation, really, not just MVC) before diving into something complex.
That whole series is free. I think the guy offers some paid stuff on his site, but that MVC tutorial is completely free. It’s one of the best tutorials I’ve ever done.
So you did the tutorial series as well, and you liked it, huh?
Is the tutorial just PHP-centric, or does it apply to all programming?
For instance, if I wanted to build a website using Java or Python or C#, would this tutorial still apply and be useful? (I know PHP now, but am hoping to build my next website using a more “mature” language, plus at work I need something I can apply to more enterprise languages/platforms.)
It is based in PHP, but it teaches good MVC principles by taking you through building your own PHP MVC Framework. I don’t work in (or necessarily like) PHP. I was already familiar with MVC when I went in to it and there were quite a few “ah ha” moments.
I think did the first 7 videos and I came away with a much more solid understanding of core MVC principles.
I’m sorry; I knew I was wandering off-topic as I was wandering. And I shouldn’t have quoted that whole thing–meant to trim it down, phone rang, and I forgot.
No worries, like I said, I’m the king of derailing conversations
So I’ve been thinking, and to expand my original response to OP:
In addition to JavaScript-y stuff, I am also trying to concrete my use and understanding of a PHP framework or two. I’ve used them before, and understand the basics of MVC, but I’ve never really… owned one, if that makes sense. Enough that I’d be willing to say that I’m better with it than without it, or to teach it to a novice. I’m working on a Laravel side project at the moment, and we’re going to make a concentrated effort to really optimize things as much as we can, find interesting third party additions, and really think about what we’re doing and how. I also might take a look at another. Can’t think of any other particularly awesome development goals or general learning goals I have for 2015…
