Learning A Bit

  • Diving Back In. Again…

    Well, I allowed my education to take a back seat again… I have relocated to another state, and my goal is to build the skills needed to always get a remote job/career, so I can live anywhere! Fortunately, my progress has not been as stagnant as my postings. I made a page on my GitHub…

  • Triumphant over PHP7!

    I am not a php developer, but I have built a couple websites that utilize the PHP include statement to make a single instance of an item such as a header or footer and use across the whole site. When php5x was deprecated, the previous statements would no longer work in 7… I consulted with…

  • The second post…

    Ok, I have realized that intent is not good enough. Follow through and performance is what counts. It has been 2 months since the first post was published.
