When I was a blogger
When I was a blogger I used to see some forms and some
comment system box some of which where so fine and well styled. If you are or
where just stumbling upon this type of blogs you may be force to stay on some
of this blog for so long as you never intended. This was something that do
consume most of my time whenever I go online. I would stay on these WebPages
and later regret and get to other and still stay for a long time and even more
longer and would wonder what is the problem.
At a
point I decided not just to be looking on these web pages but to create
something similar and possible be selling them. These lead me to serious
research. I surf online for ways to achieve this and I got so many opinion,
options that explained my brain and made went more deep into a wider research.
At the
end of my research, I discover there are two (2) way of archiving it which are
using widget or coding it by yourself from scratch. Using widget or plug-in is
the simplest way of achieving it but when using widget you do not full control
over it. You will be able to change it to how you would want at any point
because it an external API (Application Programming interface). Coding on your
own gives you entries control over everything and you can do it any how you
want to do it only that it is hard. But it the way you have completes access
& control. Coding it from crash entails using a language you are so
familiar with. There are lots to programming language which help one write a
good Application also known as software or computer program. Depending on what
you want to accomplish and which programming
language you are perfect with
then you go with the one that matches these two criteria and your application is half way ready.
After
going through various programming language I decided to use PHP. PHP is a scripting programming language. This
means is a server side programming
language and not a client side programming
language. The different between a client side and a programming language
and a server language is that while a
client side it runs on the system browser the server runs on a server meaning
you must have a HTTP connection or an apache server to be able to use a server
side language. This is best understood by programmers
Before
I proceed let me touch some words which have use which I think a lay man not
understand it so quick, words like application programming interface,
programmer, Programming, server, program and code or coding. Starting from
Application programming interface this is an external widget, plugging or code
brought in to your program or your code to make your program to do a particular
thing.
