  • Introduction Welcome to the 1st installment of Diving into Development. This is a free online ebook or workshop written by Joshua Drake in an effort to teach those who are willing how to be a multifaceted web developer. As this is an individual project, it will take me a long time to reach completion, but I hope everyone will follow along and learn something. In this series, I will be jumping back and forth between languages (have no fear, I will remain highly organized with this) in an effort to demonstrate the best tools for the job in my opinion. Throughout this project, I will be supplying sample code to copy / paste, downloadable snippets, as well as demonstrations. These articles will all be accessible to The Admin Zone community, my personal tutorial / resource site Drake Technologies, as well as Good-Tutorials.com and possibly others. If anyone has any questions,...

  • While it’s been a while since I’ve updated over here at Drake Technologies with any articles, it’s also showing apparent (perhaps even more so) over at The Admin Zone.  As promised, my next article will be part of a large series, instructing new and experienced users alike on how to not only write simply web pages using the dynamic side of PHP, but also how to write fully functional programs, capable of doing whatever you, as the creator, set your mind to. I’ll let everyone know now, I’m far from an expert at programming, although I have been doing it for quite some time.  While Drake Technologies and my other sites in the past have either ran on software that I’ve personally written or have modifications that I’ve personally customized, none of which are now to show any concrete examples of what I’m capable of.  However, you should be able...

  • Webmaster Ethics And the Importance of Global Image About This isn’t going to be the longest article I’ve ever written, but to me it is by far the most important. It is all about ethics, one of the things that I’ve actually been complimented on by web employers when I was much younger and filling several moderator roles. I’d like to take all of you on a metaphorical journey to show you how you look on your own website, how you look when you are interacting with a website that considers you a friend, and how you look on strange websites. I intend to show you how your actions can bring consequence, and how to properly interact with the world online to gain respect and even loyalty. As always, to introduce myself, I’m a veteran webmaster as well as entrepreneur. I enjoy the most the community aspect the internet has...

  • About Welcome to another article written in effort to right the typical wrongs of new webmasters as well as blog/forum administrators. In this slight introduction, I’m a long time webmaster with nearly 13 years of experience under my belt, working with several top notch websites along the way. I’m in no sense an expert because I believe that in everything there is always room for improvement within yourself as well as new things to learn, but hopefully my own endeavors can help others in being successful in their projects. As always, I’ve split this article into several sections to define several of the problems that I’ve seen new webmasters make, as well as mistakes that I’ve made in the distant and recent past. Keep in mind that these are my personal opinions, but I would consider all scenarios mentioned something to pay attention to. A lot of these scenarios are...
