Hey everyone. There are two courses I have to decide between: Python Programming and Internet Programming.
The first course isn't merely an introduction, it's in-depth. The second one is an introduction, but here is the course description:
This course surveys the many technologies that are used to program multitiered, client/server, database-intensive, Web-based applications. Topics include: XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Extensible Markup Language (XML), RSS, Ajax, Rich Internet Applications, Web servers, databases, MySQL, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Faces, and Web Services.

The Python course ends there and doesn't serve as a prerequisite, but Internet Programming opens a door for exclusive courses for Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, etc. It may seem like a no-brainer to enroll in Internet Programming because of that advantage, but it would be much appreciated to hear what you guys think.

This time I’m asking for help
As you probably know, in real life, I’m an IT consultant giving advice to companies on networking architectural, databasing, TCP/IP, programming and last but not least mobile computing questions.
My new task is giving advice (writing a complete booklet on) on in which direction a given company should go: Microsoft Terminal Servers (with, possibly, Citrix Metaframe) or just “webizing” their in-house, custom-written current applications (whenever possible) - that is, converting it to be Web/ client-side (Ajax / JavaScript / ActiveX) and server-side (Java / ASP etc.).
For this, I’m looking for case studies. For the two distinct cases, I’ve found several case studies (that is, I don’t really need case studies that only discuss why a given company abandoned fat clients and went for, say, Citrix); I’d still need case studies that directly compare the two alternates and explain why a given company decided for one or the other and what influenced their decisions.
That is, if you know of, for example, magazine articles or anything of interest in this very subject (that is, preferably unbiased comparison of the full MS Terminal Server / Citrix solution to converting local apps to run off the Web and using “thin” Web browsers to access them in the company), I’d be highly grateful if you could share it with me – hope I haven’t run into it so far. Just a URL would be sufficient.

Hello everybody, happy to have found this forum.
I am a student and have studied 3 years Java in highschool (pretty good level) and studying for about 2 C/C++ at University, am good with PHP and databases and I know some CMS pretty well. So intermediate programming skills, hoping to improve them. I'm from Italy so excuse my bad grammar
I want to create this app for some friends of mine and I want it to be connected to a database and that database will be displayed online on a website. Basic data categorized and if possible displayed differently for different zones. So say you're from Japan and access a category from the website: firstly it asks for location access and then displays to you the "nearest" data available (if you'd want you could access data from other locations). This should have minimum costs, talking website/database.
So what I am asking, how hard this can be? I have never created a project in Android Studio, just worked with Netbeans ,CodeBlocks and Eclipse.
Is there a way to quickly learn how to save the data from an app to a database ? The other way I guess I'm able to do it.
If any of you is so kindhearted to help me find some good tutorials.
Thanks.
It depends on your skill, based on your skill set it will be easy for you.
All you need is create an API for your app so it can exchange data to your web server. You can use a PHP Framework for your API to make your life easy.
On Android part you can use GSON for converting JSON data to Java Object and vice versa.

I guess it can be created and to save your time try to build it using a mobile app builder then connecting it to other source would be easier
All the best
