I'm excited to announce that my "Build a Content Management System" course is complete, and available to premium members within the KillerSites Video Library (http://killersites.com/university/ -- within the PHP section)...

I recently released a 18 part screencast series in the KillerSites University on building a PHP and MySQLi-based login system.

This series explains how to create a simple PHP login system using PHP, MySQLi, PHP sessions and a variation of the MVC pattern. This system allows authorized members to login, access a member’s only section, and log out, as well as showing how to create a form that adds new members to the database. In addition, I cover how to create forms to change and reset users passwords...

I recently completed an eight part video tutorial for KillerSites.com on CRUD Basics with MySQLi & PHP. It covers how to create a basic application that creates, reads, updates and deletes records (commonly called CRUD) from a MySQL database using MySQLi. Videos seven and eight demonstrate one way to do pagination with MySQLi...

Thought I should quickly post this in case it's useful to someone else...

I use Coda for just about all my web development needs. I've recently started learning C++ for some of my computer science classes, and being able to have FTP, the Terminal and file editing all in one application is incredibly useful. Unfortunately, it lacks basic C++ syntax highlighting, which is a bit of a pain...

Just though I should post a quick note... I recently added a new screencast to my Resources page which covers how to export a local database using PHPMyAdmin and import it to a new database on your web hosting. Hopefully it'll help a couple beginners out!

I love Coda. I've tried quite a few code editors, and hands down, it's my favorite app for web development.

However, there is one area which I think it falls short... I do miss the various bundles that come preinstalled with TextMate, especially for PHP coding. Being able to type in a couple letters and then hit the tab key to expand the text into a full saved text saves me a significant amount of time while coding...
