I've got a little bit more done on my website - its kinda shotty workmanship, and It gives off an unfinished vibe, so I'm restarting development from ~the ground up. I used a content management system so I didn't have to bother learning tons of SQL and PHP, but I really do want to actually know what my website is doing. I'm gonna start developing my website again and eventually upload it, but I think the website will still be the same style.

Basically, what are your crits about this website?

You don't really have to know the core , If it serves your purpose.

Content management systems.Especially popular ones are very complex.The code is divided into hundreds of small files.
I personally think it's unreasonable to bypass regular functions and write your own syntaxis(somewhat) like Joomla.but that's not my problem.

All in all if your website is small,content management systems should either be very light,or don't use them at all.

To be quite honest,I'd take your design over any other overly-crowded,bright,unbalanced template.

The only thing you might want to reconsider are the buttons.I'd put them a little more to the right of the logo and make the borders one idea brighter,but then again maybe that's just me...

If you need help with PHP and MySQL give me a shout.

Hmmm... My efforts are spread too far apart in learning PHP...

Do you know of any websites that give assignments and solutions for PHP scripts? Doing random stuff doesn't instill knowledge as well as finding and completing a goal :\

Something like this: http://codingbat.com/
that website really helped my java skills.

I've found a lot of solutions on DannyWeb.

Search the forums or write there what you need.

A good suggestion though would be to buy some books on PHP and MySQL.

PHP Hacks by Jack D. Herrington is a particular one I like.

You can actually read that one online here

You should also read the basics here : http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP

Wow. You have vectors in your highschool class.
Makes me feel how lame my highschool classes were.

The website looks simple and it serves the purpose perfectly.

I suggest using CodeIgniter framework for PHP, It will help you create a website fast and still learn PHP programming.

Hmmm, I'll check that out. I keep forgetting what I've learned in PHP just doodling around making random stuff.

So I guess I'll try working through the examples in PHP Hacks by Jack D. Herrington. It definitely has some good content in it.

Also... I'm not really sure how I should go about setting up an offline php development environment for windows...
[edit]
scratch that about setting up a development environment. I'm in the middle of trying to get stuff working now.

Install XAMPP for windows.

And probably use NetBeans as an IDE.

Your domain will be http://localhost and it points to your htdoc in your xampp folder.

Might I recommend running a virtual machine instead. (only recommended on a dual core or better, otherwise it's just too slow) Keeps you from running all kinds of different services and junk in windows, and you can configure a virtual linux server to run just like your production server. I got my vm set to run all the time on a dual core setup, I just set the priority to low and it doesn't seem to interfere with anything.

As a side note, it'll keep your ram usage in check too. Apache can turn into a giant ram hog, but if your VM is locked at 128mb or 256mb or whatever, that's all it'll ever use. It'll cause the performance of the VM to drop, but your computer will stay nice and responsive.

If you bridge your network adapter and your vm network adapter, and setup a bridged network in your vm, your vm gets it's own ip address from your router, and it runs like it's on it's own computer. It's really handy. check out this link for how to do that:

Bah! I give up. NeuroFuzzydev.com is staying how it is for now (*with more content). I'm going to keep working away at PHP stuff, but I really don't want to do everything at once (that is, adding content to a website I'm overhauling). Once I know what I'm doing, I'll consider changing everything, but right now - content.

[edit]
but I am gonna change that thing with the table being too close to the picture
