MySQL on Linux to configure Bunch of Rows in a Table
-
@Lakshmana Since you are new to mysql, I would suggest not to jump on projects, but to learn the basics, commands, try adding sample tables, enter data and check it. Once you learn the basics, then you can start working on the projects.
Seems like a good site http://www.mysqltutorial.org/basic-mysql-tutorial.aspx

@scottalanmiller i need to create Registration page with table.Like Facebook pages Sign up and Registration with first name password
Okay, that's what you need to do when you are programming. I'm unclear how it relates here. I understand that you want this data to be in the database, but that's not a task you do with the database. This is something your application does. Are you saying that you want to "learn to be a software developer" but asked "how do I import rows"?

@thecreativeone91 Whether any links available to study and implement the things
It sounds like you want to change careers and be a software developer. It's a whole new field. Most people go to university for that. That's certainly not the only way, but you'll want to start with some books. This is a HUGE undertaking that you are talking about.
Why do you want to leave IT so quickly?

@scottalanmiller I dont want to leave IT.But it is one of the project came to my senior and he gave to solve this

Are you looking to create a login page like this? http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Secure-Login-Script-in-PHP-and-MySQL

Also remember to use mysqli

Your senior just "asked you to develop software?" How does he expect you to do that? What if he asked you to write a song or build a car? This isn't something that you are trained to do. Yes, you could learn, but this is a complete change of direction and a lot to learn to do well.

Exactly. at my first IT job I had the systems administrator (who wasn't my boss) as mean to replace the Out'n About Sofware by making a custom in house web pages one. My response was "don't be waiting until it happens." while it's normal that IT people are expected to program say some VB.NET/C++ to make small tools. to make full on web applications and desktop applications is not our jobs. Nor something most of us are qualified to do.

And that's an important thing to mention - almost no one in IT is qualified to do this. He doesn't only mean freshers or juniors. No amount of IT experience prepares you to be a developer. It's a different job, a different range of skills.

I've currently gone back to school for web development and you are right, they are completely two different jobs. I just completed my first web application and there was a lot of long nights learning and testing to get it up and running.

Also, thank god for bootstrap.

@lance I'm the opposite. I'm a software engineer (started in 1989) and didn't do IT at all til 1994 and only a little till 2001. I did development then went to IT. My degrees are all in development (and all after I switched to IT.)
-
@scottalanmiller It seems to be an exciting time for web development. There is so much out there.

This seems to be such a common way of thinking... "it has to do with computers so you must be able to do it..." I have been asked on a number of occasions to develop websites or work on marketing/graphics design. When I say that I won't be able to do that because I am not a developer or graphics designer I get looks of incredulity. Could I make a website? Yes, it would look terrible and would have limited functionality though.

Are you studying Ruby on Rails and Node?

Developers get the same thing. "You wrote this script, so you can manage this infrastructure, right?"

Absolutely, very different disciplines. Different skills, different training, different job responsibilities. There is cross-over, of course, but it is limited.

Heck, I do design and I can't even make a good looking website from scratch.

Oh, yes I would totally use something like Wordpress, Joomla, or Concrete5... but still it would look pretty terrible.

I can do all the technical stuff. I can write PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. But no amount of being able to do that lets me make anything that looks good in the least. It's always total crap. Always. Not only is there very little overlap in skills between development and design, but the two are almost always exclusive.
