Programming Resources
I've written several tutorials in the past on various forums. I decided that I'd dedicate a section of this website to host them. They range over several programming languages, so be sure to check them out! Below is a list of languages that I've written articles about and a short description of each.
Structured Query Language (SQL)
This is the language of most database systems, from MySQL to ProstgreSQL to Oracle. SQL defines a relatively simple and powerful way to talk to a database. This language was not left up to individual programming languages to take care of mostly to make it applicable to whichever language had a database handler packaged with it.
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)
This language is a backend web-server language. It is executed before the web-server sends data to the client (as opposed to JavaScript, which executes after). This language generates the HTML output and runs any SQL or other processing needed to generate the HTML. Many websites and website add-ons use PHP, including the phpBB forums.
