    Hi everyone,

    You can call me Lucky.

    I'm new to this forum, I've always been using whirlpool (Australian forum) but I thought I'd give this site a try. I've came across this site in the past, never registered for an account until now.

    I got some annual leave (free time) coming up; thought I'd use it to learn how to develop a website.

    I'd say I'm below amateur at using Wordpress.
    and newbie at Abobe Dream Weaver.
    I have bought 2 domains from name.com $10/yr
    and hosting one of the domains with Hostgator for around $8/month
    From what I heard you have to learn PHP, jQuery, javascript or something so I'm hoping to learn that.
    I am ok with SQL and Python.
    Mostly been doing things in dreamweaver with split view (WYSIWYG)
    Copy open source (widgets) code and modifying it a little bit and hope it doesn't break.

    ShortTerm Goals:
    • In my current website (using wordpress) in Plugins>Editor. Learn to edit one of the widgets (birch press scheduler) php files so it passes user input from forms and send it to my email.
    • Learn how to put PayPal Integration into a website.

    Long Term Goals:
    • Learn PHP, jQuery, javascript, form validation
    • I got some lynda videos on dream weaver, CSS, PHP and want to finish watching those.
    • Make some kind of flash game like eg. mybrute.
    • Learn more about SEO, try to get my website ranking higher.
    • Learn how to buy and sell domains (domain transfer).
    • Finish "Web Development" course on udacity. >_<

      Good Night.
