Hello RaGEZONE,
I am wanting some help and making this development thread. What I am creating is called Amigo, I started it a while ago and never did a lot on it and someone told me to continue because they loved the functions but unfortunately I lost everything so I have to start from scratch. So I am asking to have some help I can't take more than 4, I may take more IF and only If needed
Thanks

Some details about the project would be nice.
1. What it is.
2. What language(s)
Amigo is a social network and It is to be written in PHP, HTML, Jquery and maybe phython and c++ for an app version
yeah i'd think twice before starting thatQuote:

But saying that it depends what community your trying to target, if it's for a game then it could be different, eg; Habbo, RS or MC, then it might be a good idea.Quote:

Vibetribe I know you to be very wise, so what should I program it in?Quote:

As .NET developer I recommend ASP.NET (VB.NET / C#) of course, but there are other systems, too. A good programming language is java, too. So if you do not like Microsoft you should check out JavaServer Pages (JSP). (Sadly, those languages / systems take longer to learn for newbies, but they are more structured and extendable due a clean OOP design.)Quote:

I would even prefer Python or Ruby instead of PHP. And if you can not avoid to "script" the mother of PHP is still better, it's Perl (Perl CGI).
Try to avoid uncommon systems that work complete different to any other type of programming, such as coldfusion. With .NET or JSP, you will be the closest to similar OO development on simple execution software, so even when it cost more time to learn and build applications from scratch you gonna learn it the common way.
Why any professional high language and not any script language?
The fact you want to build a social website should lead you to no script language. You need something that is easy to maintain, even when it cost more time to build it. Otherwise you will lose the overview anytime and the whole thing will mess you up and become dirty that will be proven by bad loading times and hidden errors. Building a good design is hard on script languages, this is mostly given when you learn about more tier solutions in OOP. You need something that is even good debug-able, something that is solid and won't suppress any hidden bad behaviors.
Good luck.
I wouldn't say there's no market. Instagram pretty much came out of the blue and look where its at now.
Why amigo? My work was previously called Whoamigo and you took a lot of interest in my project.
Ha LOL I started mine in 2010 but gave up and I don't copy peoples projects the name Amigo was given to me in my MFL classes and I used that and started it I had one open everyone at school used my beta of Amigo and said they loved the name and I deleted it in 2013 may 18th! So I'm sorry but I did not copy yours as Amigowho doesn't sound nice (no offence)Quote:

Umm sorry but how do you intend to manage the users and their information etc...Quote:

PHP is not with MySQL and MySQL is not with PHP. They might be seen as twins that walk hand in hand, but they're two independent languages (for different systems) to each other. Or what do you think why SQL injection is possible?Quote:

On professional development (where you get paid for every working hour) it's pretty fine to use any systems other programmers programmed already. But on learning progress (you still have 6 - 10 years, happily much to become a real development professional) you should invent the wheel tons of times on different ways on your non paid projects.
Even I catch myself rewriting a lot of things to improve it's performance, security and compatibility. One year ago I jumped over my shadow learning java script on a serious way. After a month the result was to rewrite over 2 thousand lines java script of my code to something shorter and more cleaner, because I did it the horrible way before. So, even If I wasted the time on the productivity way before, the result is better and now I know how to do it right.
Regarding your age and skills: Even If your age is very low, there is no need to use this as reason for releasing stuff and expecting others to be careful with you. As non programmer (yes, I do call you that) and as child, you should not release anything that other newbies might read because it's bad programming and will lead them into the wrong direction. In fact your position here is looking other well programmed projects and learning from it like the other beginners, perhaps ask some questions. That's all.
The best is you would understand to count and calculate the world of the binary number system as first, hexadecimal as next. Then you should lead to C doing ugly console programming, then you will learn what's really behind the scene. Do not take this as attack, everybody starts small and I'm happy to see there is a 12 years old boy/girl who got interests in programming.
Take it as constructive critism.
Sincerely, VibeTribe
