Adam Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Very dull, I didn't actually read past about the 5th slide if I'm honest. Think you should re-consider the media you're using to present this; slide shows are mainly used to back up a presentation. Used in this way you may as well have just written it as an article.

Eiolon Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree that it's a bit dull. It could be used for the presenter as a note card but it does nothing different than a tutorial in a book does. In an era where everything is YouTube'd and zip zooming in your face with sound and graphics, it doesn't really do anything to keep attention.

priti Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I received good response on those slides - content wise and many beginners find it easy to run the examples and understand the concept behind it. which mainly serves the purpose of it. But you guy have different view and I think I must consider the look and feel as well as media option also while creating presentation for beginners. Thanks buddies.

kayla Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I like it It may be a bit long winded and I agree that it looks a bit dull, but I think it would be a great reference for those just beginning. I may even use it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hello Members, Review required for following presentation. Let me know if i can add more content to it for beginners or your review how i can make it more useful for beginners. Thanks. It would be more useful if you didn't tell people to use php's mysql extension. People these days should be using php's mysql extension unless you specifically need to connect to MySQL database versions older than 4.1.3 or you are still using php4. You're starting beginners off on the wrong track. If using php5, you should be using Mysqli or PDO. The mysql extension should be used as a last resort if mysqli and PDO ar not available.

ignace Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Your presentation is IMO wrong and its aim for beginners is misguided. Let's assume I'm a beginner I find your presentation then it will go like this: PHP/MySQL for beginners Next Agenda Next What is MySQL? .. How does it relate to PHP? .. Locate your php.ini ?? php.ini what's that??? IF I'm smart I'll try: F3 php.ini -> no results End of tutorial.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phant0m Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd use a different approach. Perhaps start with something like: "What is a database, "Why would we need a database", "What is MySQL", "How to read information a database - Queries" Also explain, in what way PHP and MySQL are related to each other. Constants: leave that away, explain them when it's necessary. As for the rest: see previous comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
