Forum software

[wignall6]

I think you should make a tutorial going through how to make a forum. The login system can be done through your other tutorial already made.

The problem with this is that it's a fairly huge project, and would not really deal with anything new.

Also

forum = blog + account system

so I sort of already have that.

A forum system might bring in a lot more viewers, as before when I searched for making a forum there was 1 series and that was simple. A lot of people look for it, but there isn't many tutorials out there.

I don't particularly care how many view / subscribers / members / likes / tweets etc etc I get

But if its something people would like to see I will see if there is a way it can be done simply.

[Carbine]

I would say just do a simple one but like you said, you have your blog and user system for that and if they can't mix them together maybe they should go to php.net

I would really love to just see a video of you coding your forum in your spare time.

Not for true example or explanations purposes but to see you doing it Probably cause I am strange like that.

It will be the "Lets play" version for php "Lets code PHP - Forum software" could be the name

He should setup a live stream for his desktop. I'd watch that. I'm strange like you

Yay! A world with weird-o's beside myself!

I do recall him saying in his introduction video that he would do something like that, I'm waiting!

[jacek]

I do like the idea of some kind of live event, but im not really sure how that would work.

Also I gave up on the videos of the site development as it would take wayyyy to long to get anything done.

[Dylan]

Well any sort of video / live event where we can watch-ith you code would be fantabulous!

[ta2shop]

i doble that, i think it would by great to se you code live!

P.S: i think hy is just shy, i think that if wii all pm him or somthing like that hi will avengili do it

[Tino]

What's the point of seeing someone code

[ta2shop]

ther is no duferente in seeing some one code! but seeing wide_load or even you code would by a big point for us the "dumies"

[Tino]

But why

Just so you can see our faces?

[Dylan]

What's the point of seeing someone code

Tutorials can teach you the use of functions, and how to do certain things. They can give you good habbits, and allow you to apply knowledge; but tutorials cannot teach you to code.

When someone is going through their tutorial even if they are "coding it out" as they go, it is not really them programming. It would be nice to see someone else's approach to the logic of things. It is nice to see their use of say, the manual, or other reference points; as well as their development of library files etc.
It is like, if you are wanting to play a sport coaching helps, but if you watch someone else do it on top of being coached it will greatly improve your results.

EDIT: just to make it clear, I mean a screen capture of the coding, not a video of you typing.

[Tino]

Hmm, I must have misunderstood. I though they wanted to see a video of someone sitting behind his desk coding... Which would be pointless.

Because I definitely agree with you.

Yah ahaha, I do not know if that is what others mean't; not really my interest. But like, for the majority of tutorials I don't need to be talked through every function and every SQL query etc. I would just like to see their approach to things; just a thought.

[jacek]

Well if it was live it would give people the opportunity to ask questions and have them answered as it went along. That's why I liked the idea anyway, more like a lesson than a tutorial.

The tutorials do not show how I actually work, for those I have written the code already and am usually looking at it as I do the video so it might be good for people to see how many time I actually have to look up the order of function arguments (although that is partially php's fault). I do write the code in the videos in the same order I wrote it then testing though, instead of just going top to bottom like I have seen in some tutorials, that makes no sense !

Yes, same here. When I see a tutorial, I want to know what logic they used. I can look up the functions on the PHP manual, that's no problem. That's how I started learning PHP - with the manual. However, the manual doesn't teach logic. You need to develop that yourself. And if a tutorial helps you develop you to think more logically, then it's a good tutorial. You need to know what you're doing.

How to do it is one thing. But knowing and understanding what you're doing is a whole lot different, but just as if not more important.

Well if it was live it would give people the opportunity to ask questions and have them answered as it went along. That's why I liked the idea anyway, more like a lesson than a tutorial.

Ohh, like that. I thought they wanted you to put up a video of you sitting behind your desk coding.

Which would be quite a waste of time, wouldn't it?

It would. Unless Jacek is a very pretty man in which case it would be time well wasted.
