An Encoding Primer Primer

SEE ENCODING TABLE

SEE FULL SCRIPT

There are some good primers on encoding but I wanted to write a sort of primer for the primers. A basic and not too technical overview of encoding, what you need to know for building websites and the PHP, javascript functions related to encoding. I also provide links to what I think are some of the best articles on the web for a more in-depth understanding.

PHP Vocabulary Flash Cards

SEE WORKING EXAMPLE

SEE FULL SCRIPT

I've been working on my french recently and wanted a simple flash card program to study vocabulary. This script is fairly simple and uses some basic PHP, AJAX and Javascript.

To start at the very beginning you should have a MySQL database and know how to connect to it, know how create a MySQL table and know basic PHP like echo and MySQL queries. Before writing the PHP and javascript, create a MySQL table with 3 columns: id, english, french (or whatever languages you want to use).
