The question arises: is there a singular method to learning that can be considered to be "the best" or is learning a subjective activity. In other words, if everyone learns differently, is it possible to come up with a unified method that works for everyone? The short answer: No. The long answer: Absolutely!

The future is not in college, it's not in higher education, it's in self education. More and more people are starting to recognise this. If you are not constantly and diligently improving your skill set, improving your human capital, you're absolutely falling behind.

AI and Automation are going to put millions out of work - And YOU'RE NEXT! Yup, that's what we've been told. It's constant, it's everywhere, but is it fact or fiction? Well, the truth is AI and Automation aren't going to do anything - YOU ARE.

Students, what is it you want? I’m guessing it’s a good job or a business of your own doing fascinating and satisfying work, maybe in tech or something related to the computer sciences. But not just any job or business. You’re looking for a career that won’t be threatened with extinction as companies turn to AI and automation to lower costs and eliminate the problems that come from dealing with us pesky humans.

Who wants to do drive themselves into the ground? It's doubtful that you'll get anyone to raise their hand for that idea. We all want to relax and chill, but the truth is, we need to work. But if we are going to be both happy and productive, we've got to work smarter not harder. So, here are 10 tips for mastering that idea...

Disruption is a productivity killer. Endless interruptions by construction, social media and email notifications, jarring and crowded subways or bus commutes, the kids, the neighbour's leaf blower, and all of the stupid questions your co-workers ask you are completely sapping your ability to get anything done. You might always be looking to find some peace and quiet, but whether you work in an office or from home...

From Keynote and Powerpoint documents to websites and instruction manuals, most modern documents have at least one embedded image, even if it’s just a logo. Let’s discuss a bit about raster vs. vector image files, the pros and cons of each, and how to deal with them. So, Diving right in — Raster vs. Vector. All image files fit into one of two categories…

Let’s continue our discussion by talking about image file types, compression, and transparencies. There are a few file types associated with vector images – the most popular or familiar being SVG, AI, and PDF. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic, and it is the most compatible, pure XML-based vector format. The SVG file is an open standard supported by the W3C…

So many of the conversations that I have with non-developers about development eventually lead to some explanation of the languages and frameworks that I use to build a site or application. It becomes necessary, then, to explain the specific roles that each language performs, why they do what they do, and why the do not do what the other languages do. In the interest of good relations, here are some (very) simple examples and explanations of a few of the languages, what they do and why they do it…

In part one, we were talking about internet languages and we managed to pull some data using PHP and SQL from a database about some purchases that we made on our debit card. We then took that data and structured it using HTML giving us a simple table that looks like it got the raw end of the ugly stick. I’ll redraw the table so we can remember what it looked like. Cover your eyes…

In parts one and two, we’ve covered a few of the primary web languages: PHP, SQL, HTML, and CSS. Let’s get into a few of the more advanced languages. Explanations of these will be brief as some of the concepts here are difficult to grasp until you are actually developing and need them. XML is the language that HTML is based on. It is structure, structure, structure when it comes to data! XML quite simply defines ownership, relationship, and type for data…
