I’m a student at BYU right now and a friend and I have come up with an idea for a website that we think could go really far. We’ve been struggling to find people skilled enough who are willing to give it a try with us though. One of my friends suggested that I ask on here and see if anyone is up to it. We would only be able to offer a percentage of any future profits instead of a set pay, but there is no guarantee of anything since it’s just an idea right now… Anyway, let me know if you want to join in. Or if I’m even posting this in the right place…

So one can learn PHP on their own I suppose, but where is the best place in Utah to take a class on PHP development? UVU? SLCC? somewhere else? All recommendations are appreciated.

Hi Larry,
I’ve taken classes at the U and SLCC. Frankly, I would recommend getting an account at lynda.com. You cane learn LOTS of things there for one low price. The videos, tutorials, and example files are all excellent, and they also teach some best practices. All the PHP classes I’ve found are very slow and not very good at heading you in the direction of real life application of PHP.
I hope this helps!
Tony =)

If you’re just getting started, I really enjoyed these tutorials-Dive into PHP. They don’t go too deep into the language but they give a good foundation. From there I would check out the PHP Manual.

Some of you have come across raifbot on the #uphpu IRC channel. I’ve put a site that briefly describes all of the available commands: http://raifbot.wordpress.com/

hello php utah. long time coder, first time poster :) I’m working on a new venture that is built on cakephp and wondering if there are any cakephp developers out that or if everyone has moved on to lithium apparently :). I tried connecting on the cakephp user group but it appears defunct. I’ve been out of the development scene for a few years but excited to get back in. Anyways, would love to connect with others with knowledge on cakephp and to get to know the community as a whole.

I currently work for a company with several developers who are all proficient in CakePHP. I have worked on about 3 projects so far all which used CakePHP. I started off as a CakePHP newbie so I printed off the PDF version of the manual (about 700 pages) and read through it. I think observing the design patterns of more experienced CakePHP developers has been helpful too. I also got our company to purchase a book from Amazon called “CakePHP 1.3 Application Development Cookbook” by Mariano Iglesias”. I’ll let you know whether I think the book was helpful. Spending all day working on CakePHP projects which were designed by devs with many years of experience with CakePHP has definitely accelerated the learning process.
I was at the last usergroup meeting & I plan to attend future meetings as well. I noticed that at least a few people at the meeting were currently using CakePHP on their projects too.

I was wondering if any of you have experience in PHP setup on Window Server 2003. I recently installed it and now my .net website is “SERVICE UNAVAILABLE”. I need to uninstall it but I don’t know how.

I’m converting video for HTML5. I’ve been using Miro Video Converter. It’s works great, except that the OGV files it produces aren’t working in Firefox. I’m not sure if it’s a weakness with the converter or the source file (I’m converting FLVs). I tried FireFogg and the file it produced works and, interestingly, is half the size.

josephscott
Did you figure out what the issue was?
-
wade
It turns out that Firefox needs the files to be named .ogg instead of .ogv.

There’s a new conversation happening at uphpu.org. You asked. I listened. I’ve upgraded to the P2 WordPress theme. It’s all hopped-up on ajax and social juice. Everyone can now post directly from the home page and comment inline anywhere on the site. A customized version of P2 is forthcoming, but we might was well start enjoying the benefits of this platform in the meantime.
I have deleted all user accounts with zero posts so that we may start fresh. So, if you haven’t posted or comments on uphpu.org previously, you’ll need to create a new account.

“We would only be able to offer a percentage of any future profits instead of a set pay, but there is no guarantee of anything since it’s just an idea right now…”
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard these exact words. What this really actually means is “our idea, which we were too shy to even mention here publicly, doesn’t seem to be interesting to investors, so we’re just going to wing it.”
It never actually works out, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone (friend or not) jumps on board with this work. If they can’t find funding, it wasn’t a good business model in the first place. Not being able to even mention what the work is also means there’s a lack of confidence that this is actually even an innovative project since there’s worry that “anyone could jump in front of us, it doesn’t actually take anyone special to do this.”
