Rohan - Expressing Thoughts Through Small Articles

Along with being an amateur web designer and web developer, Rohan is also interested in ancient history, math, and sports.

Rohan was born and has grown up in the United States. He is of Indian origin. When he was 8 years old, Rohan began to learn HTML. And that is when the journey began. He started to learn web design and its languages such as CSS and xHTML. To become a web developer, Rohan decided that he must learn about databases and server-side languages. The languages that he learned were PHP and SQL. Currently now, he is working on more web development work.

On this blog, Rohan will be posting all kinds of things from web development to ancient history information to even book reviews. Stay tuned!

What I Am Learning: Ruby

With learning Python on the side, I have decided to take up learning the Ruby language. The Ruby language in my opinion (at the moment) the most modern and easiest way of using normal development tools (accessing files, basic operations, looping). Now unlike Python where formatting is a big deal, Ruby is not strictly written. It is written like mostly any other web development language.

What really interests me is that Ruby is all object oriented. Everything from standard things like classes to even numbers and strings! All of these are objects! This is another way Ruby provides its standard functions: through the objects.

From here, I will report back on what I have learned in the Ruby language so look out for more "What I am Learning"'s in the future!

What I Learned: Web Frameworks Through Programming Languages

I have known for a while that web frameworks are able to make web development easier instead of using raw code. But I never knew how to use them or how they helped people. Now I do.

Web frameworks are able to make web development easier by using programming languages to manipulate the dirty work in developing a web application. So instead of typing it all out by yourself, you just type in one line in your local Unix command line and something that would have taken you 30 minutes to write with raw code has just been written. Web frameworks like these are becoming very popular. Ruby on Rails using the Ruby programming language, and Django using the Python programming language are examples of web frameworks.

Stay tuned for more "What I Learned"s in the future!

PHP Opens Doors for Web Applications

At times, you have that nerve that wants you to make a web app after viewing one. But when it comes time to building it, you don't what tools to use. This is a nerve that I have had many times. Although I tried to ignore the feeling after many failed attempts at building a web app, I came to a conclusion of learning the language that would open that door for me. The answer: PHP.

PHP is a language that is mainly used for web development and to access MySQL databases from a server. When you become comfortable with this language, it is easier for you to say "Hey, I can build this!" But PHP as well helps with other languages in both web applications and software. Some of these languages include Javascript/jQuery, C, and Python.

PHP will open doors for you to build your web application not only because its one of the main factors in the foundation, but also because it will help with the rest of the web application in the future.
