Basics of HTML / CSS and PHP

PHP (Hypertext PreProcessor) is a programming language that runs on the web server side. PHP's creator - Rasmus Lerdorf - designed it as a tool for creating dynamic and interactive websites. The language has gained a lot of popularity and is used in projects of all sizes, from a simple blog to the largest web applications on the Internet. The largest PHP projects are Zend, Yahoo, Facebook, Google, NASA, W3C. The course is intended for those who want to acquire initial skills in web development in PHP, to study the logic of working with this language and terminology, as well as to understand the principles of functioning of systems and web applications. In the learning process, students go through the main stages of creating a simple website for an online store and work on its functionality. The knowledge and skills acquired on the course are a solid foundation for further development as a PHP developer.

Internship at GeekBrains (Web). 2 months.
Team development practice

During the internship, students will have to work remotely on an Open Source project or start-up. Students will be asked to choose one of a set of projects available for development. They will learn how to work in a team, communicate with other developers, product and project managers, designers, learn flexible methodologies, the SCRUM framework, and master the principles of remote work. The result of the internship: the ability to work in a team, replenishment of the portfolio, the ability to indicate work on a project as a profile work experience in the resume. The internship will be in the format of distance work with part-time work, weekly meetings-statuses with the teacher in the format of a webinar.

Lesson 1. Starting a project

The first lesson on the internship is introductory. We get to know each other, we understand how many skills students have, and most importantly, what they want to develop. Explaining the difference between internships and regular courses. We will tell you what will happen at the webinars and between them.

Lesson 2. Agile development methodologies

The second lesson is about development methodologies. This is simply necessary, since other courses do not teach this and students do not know how to work in a team. Starting with this lesson, students work as a team. Homework is dedicated specifically to team development.

Lesson 3. Problems and their solution. Meeting

The third lesson is devoted to the analysis of problems that students will surely have while working on a project. This is necessary because students, when faced with problems within the team for the first time, can give up and stop developing the project. We ask what problems have arisen, give advice, talk about MVP (minimum viable product).

Lesson 4. First Subtotals

The fourth lesson is devoted to an overview of the intermediate successes that students have achieved in 3 weeks of project development. We give advice, make comments, help solve problems and help you choose the right direction for project development.

Lesson 5. Meeting. Quality. Testing

Let's analyze an important topic: how to write autotests for the code. We explain the different types of tests and tell you why they are needed. At the end of the lesson, we advise students to write autotests for the project in order to better understand this topic.

Lesson 6. Meeting. CV preparation

We ask students how they are progressing with their projects. If there are serious problems, we will help you to solve it. We are interested in how things are going with autotests. We analyze an autotest for any of the projects (at the request of students). We remind you that there is very little time left (two weeks). We help speed up the development of projects by prioritizing the tasks that students want to do.

Lesson 7. Meeting. Developer career

As the course comes to a close, it's time to teach students to write an important thing for them - a resume. We talk about the important points that HR pays attention to, give advice and warnings. We designate the task for the next lesson: write your resume and indicate in the work experience a student internship at GeekBrains.

Lesson 8. Summing up

This is the last webinar where we take stock. If students are allowed to check their resume at the webinar, we check it, give feedback. Next, we demonstrate student projects, show who managed to achieve what and praise students. We tell students that they can not stop there and continue to develop the project.

Good day, guests of the site! Each of us has heard about specialists who make up websites. And many people argue about how to become a web master, but it is quite difficult to master this difficult profession on your own. Why is that? There are many reasons. Starting from complex programming languages, ending with the nuances of layout rules.

So, let's begin. Despite the wide selection of available material for self-education on the Internet, I am of the opinion that it is much better to spend a certain amount of money and take webmaster courses under the strict guidance of experienced specialists. This will save you time and hassle, because, believe me, learning html, java or css alone is exhausting. A lot of questions and mistakes arise, and sometimes hours, or even days, are spent on resolving them. Due to the lack of help nearby, it is almost impossible for a beginner to understand the codes.

For these reasons, I also recommend you to study with masters of their craft, and such teachers teach in the center " Netology". How are they different from others? They are practitioners, and this is a weighty argument. In addition to teaching at the training center, each teacher is a full-time employee of one of the fastest growing companies. Positions and job responsibilities are not only not hidden by teachers, but are available in a brief summary of each specialist.

Agree that getting an education from a person in whose effective work you can be sure is very interesting. Today, not all training centers can boast of such a successful selection of personnel, where every specialist is a pride. Teachers of webmaster courses know the workflow from the inside, so attending classes with them, as with practitioners, is much more informative. I also note that when you adopt the experience of the practice, you can be sure of the quality of knowledge, since it is relevant.

The presence of engines and free templates on the Internet is convenient and it greatly simplifies the work of the current generation of webmasters. If earlier you had to typeset each page separately, now everything is done more automated.

And if you quickly grasp new information, then for sure you will succeed and even post it on. But this is not the end of the work with the resource. Every website and blog, like little children, requires constant attention and care. Plus, you probably want more, even if the initial look of your blog was fine with you. Over time, you will want to include plugins, for example, for numbering blog pages and so on.

And to embody ideas, again, knowledge is required. In order not to ruin the project, but to really improve it, you need to be confident in the source of knowledge, so all roads again lead to " Netology". In addition to theory, you will practice and be able to complete test assignments, as well as create a portfolio for further employment in the received specialty.

As you can see below, the curriculum of webmasters courses included all the steps necessary for mastering this direction.

Each lesson is available in the recording and students can listen to it again if something is not clear. You can also ask questions to teachers online and also communicate with other students in one of the social networks. And after defending the project and at the end of the training, you will receive a diploma.

Now you know how to become a webmaster from scratch more quickly with the help of courses. It is a reliable and modern method. But if you are still thinking about learning, you can start studying the subject yourself, then in the classroom you will quickly master the new material, as you will be aware of the basic definitions and terms.

Do not forget subscribe to updates.

Good luck with your knowledge.

How to become a webmaster and what are the prospects for this profession?

Hello Dear blog visitors. If you are reading this article, then most likely you have decided to become a webmaster, but do not know how. The purpose of this article is to help you competently enter the world of site building, blogging, as well as the world of Internet business. In this article, I want to talk in detail about how to become a webmaster.

To become a professional webmaster, you do not need to be a programmer and study at any institute. Any person who loves a computer and everything connected with it can become successful in this type of business.

You probably think, what prospects can you get if you become a webmaster? There is simply no answer, it all depends on what you want to create sites for. After all, perhaps you want to create a website for yourself that will bring you high income in the future, or you want to create your own website development company, or you are going to create custom websites. Or maybe you want to become a professional freelancer, create paid designs, or develop applications.

But the main advantage is that you can create your own website or blog and earn through contextual advertising, selling links, selling banners and using affiliate programs. The income can be simply huge, but if only you really work, first of all, on your own training and self-education.

Website building is a very difficult thing, especially when it comes to SEO optimization of projects. If you want to become webmasters just to get rich quickly, then you can forget about it. But if you want to devote your whole life to site building, then welcome to our team.

But it is worth noting that a professional webmaster will never be left without work, since website development is a very popular profession.

The main advantages of doing websites and blogs

If we take into account the main advantages, then they can be distinguished as follows:

1. If you know how to create websites, even without knowledge of programming, then you can find work in this area without any problems, or in the field of it technologies. Moreover, the salary can be really very high, webmasters are always needed.

2. You can keep your own blogs and websites and after 1 - 2 years start earning money with the help of contextual advertising, and so on. And in 3 - 5 years you will be able to make very serious money in this industry. And then the information business will go with experience, and so on, the career will go uphill.

3. Knowledge that will feed you. Even with advice and advice, you can make money.

Once upon a time I was a green beginner in this activity and did not know about what domain and hosting are, what seo is, and so on. I didn't know anything at all except games, but I wanted to learn how to make money online. You can read more about me in. I will not write my entire Internet path, since I myself hardly remember how I was brought into the world of Internet business =). Previously, “your site” sounded incredible to me, I didn’t think that every person has the opportunity to create his own personal blog or website and make big money on it.

Now, of course, everything is like clockwork, both in terms of site building and in terms of seo optimization, everything moves smoothly, develops, monetizes.

Webmaster Training Tips

If you seriously decided to become a webmaster, if you have a serious desire to grow in this area, then read some tips on where to start.

• Completely memorize the information about what sites and blogs are. You must clearly understand the difference between a website, forum, blog, online store, advertising campaign.
• Read the full information on what hosting is. You must understand that sites are not hosted on computers, but on servers. Try to understand what a server is and how sites are actually hosted on it. Get around free ways to create a website (you don't need free hosting!)
• Understand what a domain name is. Why is the domain name called that, what is the difference between the .ru and.com domains.
• Find out what management systems are used to build sites. Every computer has windows, every tablet has android or ios, every smartphone has android, simbian, windows mobile, windows phone, ios. Also, each site has an engine (CMS) on which it is built. If we are talking about a site written by hand, then most likely it was written with the help of a programmer. You don't really need knowledge of html, php and css yet, and it's too early. Therefore, study only the information on what platforms the sites are created on (wordpress, joomla, dle). Pay special attention to wordpress and joomla.
• After that, you will already know about what hosting and domain are, on which engines sites and blogs are created. This is already a step in order to then create your first blog.
• Explore the CMS from the inside. To begin with, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the WordPress CMS, after which start to fully study this engine, learn how to add articles, images, add categories, change the site design.
• Then you can start learning SEO. There are many books on the Internet, useful blogs on how to properly run your personal website or blog.

In fact, it is quite difficult to tell everything, since you will make mistakes in any case. The most important thing that depends on you is the desire to work on the site. In a matter of months, you can easily learn how to create beautiful and interesting resources, and as for SEO optimization of sites, everyone learns this science, for this there are many blogs dedicated to SEO, as well as books and videos.

In the future, you will learn how to insert advertising banners, you will be able to competently monetize your resource, and then you can begin to understand at least a little what html, php, css is. In the future, you will be able to start learning programming.

Lastly, yes, it is really very difficult than it might seem. But in my opinion, this is much better than sitting out your pants at the institute, and even paying for it. What will give you 5 years at the institute and spent 100,000 - 200,000 rubles? A crust? Which one is not taken to work with? No, this is not the case!

Therefore, anyone who wants to can learn site building. Average time of self-study from beginner to professional, from 1 - several years (depends on you). There are no costs, and with these skills you will not be left without work, since employers without any diplomas will pull you by the hand.

And if you seriously decide to make money on your own sites, you can get a high income from placing contextual advertising on sites, selling links, banner spaces, advertising lines and much more.

This message has no labels

If you want to become a webmaster, the first thing you should know is that this profession no longer exists! Webmasters, as such, existed in the prehistoric era of the formation of the Internet, but almost universally died out or were reborn as web designers, web programmers, web promoters, copywriters, site administrators, etc.

Webmaster is a collective name for people whose income is associated with the creation, maintenance and promotion of websites. As technology advances, it has become almost impossible to do all of this alone. Therefore, the profession of a webmaster has split into several related professions. And the future webmaster first of all needs to choose his future specialization.

Of course, the dinosaurs were not completely extinct - the crocodiles remained. Personally, I can poke a finger at Ivanov, Petrov and Sidorov, who themselves programmed their sites, drew their designs themselves, wrote content for them, promoted them themselves, and cut loot from their sites themselves. Moreover, the author of these lines is himself such a crocodile. But in order to become such, you must first master one of the specialties in order to get a basis for further development.

So what choice do you have? Quite extensive. Below I will list some of the most popular webmastering professions. This list is deliberately incomplete, as new professions appear constantly. Go:

Website layout designer

This is a person who is fluent in HTML / XHTML markup languages ​​and CSS stylesheets. Its task is to typeset pages of sites or templates of these pages, if the site is dynamic. To become a layout designer, you just need to read some HTML and CSS tutorial or unlearn the corresponding courses. You can improve in this specialty endlessly.

Very often people think that a webmaster is the one who types HTML documents. This opinion is wrong. Layout is done by layout designers - far from the most numerous division of the army of webmasters, although very important.

Web Programmer

Modern sites are complex, increasingly interactive software systems. Professional programmers are needed to create them. Moreover, this profession is not monolithic. It is divided into many specializations according to the programming languages, CMS and frameworks used. Perhaps the only technologies that all good web programmers possess are HTML coding and client-side JavaScript.

If you want to become a web programmer, become a layout designer first. Then choose a programming language and spend the rest of your life learning it. Here are the most popular programming languages ​​for the Web: PHP, Perl, Java, Python, server-side JavaScript, C #, ...

Web Designer

A good programmer is a bad artist. A good artist is a bad programmer. Therefore, website decoration is a separate profession. Moreover, web design has serious differences from other types of design. For example, from the printing industry. Once I had the opportunity to order a website design for a print designer. I will never make that mistake again.

To become a web designer, you need to have an artistic taste and master graphics packages such as GIMP or Photoshop. You need to have an understanding of the basics of site usability and, it is highly desirable, to be able to typeset. IMHO, the best web designers are made from layout designers who have mastered the art of design.

Web promoter

It is not enough to create a website. We need to make it popular and profitable. This is difficult to achieve if attention is paid to website promotion on a leftover basis. To make a website successful, you need a professional promoter. This profession also has specializations: SEO-optimizer, internet marketer, etc. But all the web promoters I have come into contact with have been multi-site masters in the field of promotion.

To become a web promoter, you just need to become one. By far the best way to be successful in this profession is to practice, practice and practice again.

Create a site on a free host with a ready-made template design, buy content for it, read and monetize sites and try to apply the knowledge gained in practice. By the time you manage to organize a trickle of dough from your experimental sites, you will know and be able to already enough to choose the path of your further development.

There are other professions of webmasters: site administrators, web server administrators, content managers, copywriters ... Every year these professions are growing, but this article has already written enough for the reader to understand in which direction to google. Just in case, I can throw a link where you will find many articles for a webmaster. Read, think, improve!

In the modern world, the Internet has gained immense popularity, so many people want to create their own website, resource, service on the Internet, i.e. become webmaster, but almost everyone, at first, does not understand at all what they will have to face in the process of creating a website. Everyone thinks that it is quite simple to do this, in fact it is not so, and today we will consider what technologies a novice web master should master in order to learn how to create full-fledged, high-quality sites with their subsequent promotion.

Let's start with the fact that if you just want to create your own page on the Internet, then, of course, you don't need a lot of knowledge for this ( register on ucoz and almost everything). Therefore, if your goal is this, then you can simply not read further, but if you want to create high-quality resources on the Internet that will be visited, and maybe even generate income, then you will have to face everything that will be described below. In other words, you will need to study all of the technologies listed below, or at least learn to understand them.

Master the content management system

Today, almost all sites on the Internet are developed using the so-called CMS systems. CMS (Content management system) - content management system. Sites developed entirely by hand are quite few, but if you are sufficiently familiar with all the technologies that will be listed below, then you can easily do this. But this point is not about this, but about the fact that for fast creation site, you need to decide on the site engine, in other words, with the CMS. Today there are a lot of them, there are paid ones, the most popular of them are:

• 1C-Bitrix;
• UMI.CMS;
• CMS S.Builder.

There are also free, the most popular ones:

• Joomla;
• Drupal;
• WordPress.

It is necessary not only to decide on the CMS, but also to learn how to use it, since without this a good, high-quality site cannot be made. But even if you have studied all the features of managing a particular CMS, you still cannot go beyond what you can ( standard means ) this CMS. Therefore, you need to know, or at least have an idea of ​​the technologies on which this or that CMS is implemented, in order to expand the capabilities of your site.

Master the programming language

The second point is to note that you must master ( or understand) any server-side web programming language, of course, you need to choose the language in which your CMS is implemented, otherwise there is practically no point in studying it. For example, your CMS is implemented in PHP, and you started learning perl, what's the point in learning perl, but no, so in this case it is of course better to learn PHP. But in fact, there are also many server-side programming languages, for example:

• Perl;
• Python;
• Ruby;
• Any of the .NET programming languages, this is ASP.NET technology.

In my opinion, the most popular is probably PHP, so you can choose to study it and choose a CMS based on it. If you have a question why you need to know the server programming language, but because it is on it that all the functionality of the site is implemented, and everything else ( design and more) implemented using other technologies.

Master the DBMS

During the creation of a large, full-fledged site, a lot of information accumulates, so it must be stored somewhere, the best way this, of course, is to use some kind of DBMS. Many CMS have the ability to work with different DBMS, but the most common on the Internet is MySql. It is free and supported by all CMS. Therefore, when studying a server programming language, in parallel, it is necessary to study the interaction of this language with a DBMS, in our case it is PHP and MySql.

Be able to work with a web server

Even if you know some kind of server language and even know a DBMS, you still cannot host a site on a server on the Internet. Because this requires a Web server, since without it everything makes no sense, since it is he who processes HTTP requests coming from clients, and gives them HTTP responses, so that they can display this or another web page. The most popular web servers are:

• Apache ( takes about 65% of the total share of sites on the Internet);
• Nginx;
• Lighttpd.

Have skills to work with a server operating system

While we're on the subject of Web servers, of course, we also need to mention how to deploy them, i.e. on what operating system, since you will need management knowledge to install or configure the WEB-server operating system... The most popular platforms are:

• FreeBSD;
• Centos;
• Debian;
• Windows.

Most of all the site is hosted on unix-like operating systems.

Master the HTML language

We figured out the functionality, storage of information and site placement on the Internet, now it's time to talk about displaying all this information to the user in the form of an HTML page. To do this, we need to mark up our document, this is done using markup languages. Here, probably, there should be no choice, since the most common hypertext markup language is HTML. Many aspiring webmasters believe that if they have learned HTML language then they are cool web developers, and yet they are unaware of the existence of technologies such as: CSS, XML, JavaScript and others. As you understand, this is, of course, wrong, since with knowledge of one HTML-la, you cannot even change the design of any module on an existing site, so everyone who already owns HTML, move on to other web technologies.

Master CSS

We also figured out the markup language, now let's move on to the beautiful output of our marked HTML pages... Of course, CSS (cascading style sheet) will help us with this. HTML has the ability to design a page, but of course, HTML cannot give us the capabilities that CSS provides us with. Therefore, CSS is a must to learn.

Master JavaScript

Next, it is necessary to note such technology as JavaScript. It can be attributed to both design and functionality. Almost all sites, all CMS use JavaScript technology, since JavaScript is used to implement dynamics web pages without restarting it, i.e. without referring to web server... From this we can conclude that JavaScript is a client-side technology that runs on the client-side. By the way, JavaScript is not one such technology, there are others, for example VBScript, ActionScript, just, in my opinion, JavaScript is the undisputed leader in this direction.

Understand XML and XSLT

In the development of almost all sites, such technology as XML is used, and with it XSLT. These technologies are used for many things, for example, to form some kind of data structure and display it on the screen. XML is a markup language. XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents, i.e. their visual design when displaying an XML document on the screen. From all of the above, it is impossible to become a good webmaster without knowledge of XML and XSLT. By the way, it may seem to some that XML is easy, in fact, the XML document itself is not difficult to write, everything that surrounds XML is difficult, since XML is used not only in web technologies, but also in others, but even only in web technologies. XML is so vast that it’s impossible to learn everything. Almost all other web technologies can work with XML, so it's not easy to say that XML is easy.

Know the principles of website promotion on the Internet

I think now there is enough knowledge to create a site, but it's not enough to create a site and place it on the Internet, it still needs to be promoted and a whole science is devoted to this - SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Therefore, a good web-master must know the basics of website promotion and interaction with search engines.

Let's summarize, I present to you now those 10 technologies that I would choose myself ( some of them, as you understand, are mandatory), but this is my choice, if you liked something else, then no one forbids you to study it.

• CMS - Joomla
• Server-side programming language - PHP
• DBMS - MySql
• WEB server - Apache
• Operating system - Ubuntu Server
• Markup language - Html
• Visual design of pages - CSS
• Client technology - JavaScript
• Structural Markup Language - XML and XSLT
• Necessarily - SEO

Well, that's probably all for now :), if you want to become a normal webmaster, you should know these 10 points, so decide on the choice of certain technologies and let's go for it.
