Hope you are doing all ok.
I am new to programming and I've been messing around with some things: javascript in Google app script, some python lines too, and some basic SQL skills too. I managed to create a simple system for a nonprofit organization and now I would like to learn about Wordpress and how to connect a database (phpmyadmin from xampp) to my Wordpress Frankenstein. I managed to create a simple (VERY simple) site and I've been playing a while with xampp, but now i would like to:
1- send data to my database from my Wordpress site (I know how to build a form already).
2- send data from my database to my Wordpress site.
3- edit data stored in my database using a Wordpress form.
I know there are a LOT of things involved in my questions but I just want a... mmmmmm... starting point, maybe? what should I learn, read, study to accomplish this task?
Sorry if this question is too newbie or basic for some people here but as I said before: I am learning. I've been looking around for about one month but I really don't understand how it works.
Thanks a lot guys/girls for taking the time to read my question and, more important, thank you in advance for your advice.
A great way to start learning a language/how to achieve something is to either take a course on coursera/khan academy/youtube or google it!
A few quick resources I found:
1) Working with Databases in Wordpress
2)How to build a Wordpress Database Table
3)Beginners Wordpress Database Guide
Hope it was helpful!
PS:First Answer, if anything is wrong with this please let me know!
The situation each and every of us faced when we have been started !
Lets share my learning from that mistake with you.
Don't focus on too many thing.
First use WordPress and all popular plugins as user and try to understand how its work and what is the usability of the plugin.
try to read some guideline , Obviously w3 school.
If you are not good in PHP , Then try to learn PHP first. Then OOP in PHP from w3 school.
After that try to start developing a small plugin like "A plugin to print Sunshine after each content " or "A Plugin to extend Wp User Profile Info Like to add Facebook link or Twitter Link"
Both having proper tutorial. So check carefully from envato tutus.
Start learning by building things , Not like start learning by only reading. And thats the journey --- let me know if there I can help you in any way :)

I've never used Drupal, but have been looking up tutorials online. My client would really like the adaptability of React and to have more flexibility in terms of design. I could make my own database and React app, but I have not studied security (I'm a team of one, so no one for security on my end, either). Security and access to a content management system was the main reason we decided to go with Drupal. However, I would still like to be able to code in React/something I'm familiar with to produce a site I am proud to say I made.
I've been Googling and Youtubing tutorials and help, but not having anyone to ask specific questions is making this difficult.
If anyone knows of a relatively easy way to build a React app on Drupal, I would really appreciate the advice. Or if there is a better way I should go about beginning a project as I've briefly mentioned above, I would also be open to that. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long message!
What you are asking is quite broad in concept and not easy to answer in just one answer post. Try to look for Headless / Decoupled Drupal.
https://www.acquia.com/drupal/decoupled-drupal
What this essentially means is that all the services and the content management are handled by Drupal while the core user experience or the way the site is displayed in a browser is controlled via a JavaScript framework such as React.js or backbone.js. This is achieved via Drupal’s RESTful API service.
Hope this helps.
I'm looking to create a website around a tool that plugs info from different sites into a form on mine. I'd like to eliminate/streamline data-entry. Anyone know a good way to accomplish this?
There are plenty of web scraper scripts available on github that can do data capture from web.
You will still need programming skills to change and plug those scripts as per your requirement. Here is one such parser but you must know basic DOM and programming to access information of your need from a website.
Apart from this you can also use excel sheet to access web data and then you can fill your form with that data.
You should try to learn web scraping using python. Threre are plenty of web based tutorials for it. Youtube may also be helpful.
I am working on a project which contains the question with options and solution of that question. I want to display the Mats equations and some coding questions on webpage. So my query is what will the the procedure to insert those equation into Database and display it on my webpage.
for the reference I want to display like this following link :

Frankly speaking as far as I understood your problem you do not have Idea about coding (I may be wrong but as you are not suggesting any particular database and any technical stuff I'm assuming this.)
You can use prebuilt frameworks for this job you don't need to design application from scratch unless it is your some project.
Some suggested Links are this ...
Moodle
WordPress
You need to find plugin after installing these frameworks on your webserver bundle
For that you can use
WAMP on windows or LAMP if on Linux
But Again your question too general. Give some inputs first
Information About Moodle:
IF you go throught moodle webiste you will get to know that how powerful LMS( learning management system ).
You just need to know how to configure such websites
Go through this video tutorials if you want to
Infromation About WordPress:
Wordpress is general purpose Website so you can develop any service with it very easily and everything including database is taken care by it (same case with moodle but moodle is more focused on LMS )
You have to search for LMS plugin inside wordpress for your purpose.
KINDLY ACCEPT THIS ONE AS ANsWER if you find information usefule... (Points help me contribute more and allows me also to ask question)
I've been asked to look in to creating and online database for sorting flash banners. So its kind of like a big resource library where our client can log on search and browser for old/existing banner creatives.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do/look in to. CMS Framesworks etc.
I'm pretty sure I could use Wordpress for this job via custom post types etc. But I think there's probably a better solution out there. Drupal? Joomla? Expression Engine? Or would it be better to just create a basic cms from scratch.
Features needed:
Kick arse search functionality (am guessing the client will likely try to search for creative by year, month, campaign, banner type.
Smart navigation
Sharing is convenient
Must be able to demo working demos of expanding banners as well as non-expanding
CMS so new ads can be easily added to the library.
Thanks in advance for you knowledgeable insights :P
cheers
Although basic Joomla has own extension for this purpose, here:

I am a GWT beginner, thinking about developing a management software and deploy it on AppEngine.
In my mind there's a "tabbed" user interface.
Tab1= sales; Tab2= invoices; Tab3= stock ... and so on.
I just completed the Stockwatcher tutorial and it's very cool, but now I was wondering on how to organize my code.
I mean, is making a gwt module for each tab a nice idea? For example, I want to load the interface for the 'invoices' tab only when I select that tab. Even if my idea about multimodule is wrong, can you tell me how to avoid having all my code in a "Stockwatcher" class. E.g. i read about composite, but I can't understand.
Hoping you understand my doubts. Thank you all!
If you haven't done yet anything with GWT before or haven't had much experience do not bother yourself with questions how to organize the code. Just make it. Create the user interface and the backing code. Have your application running and then go back and think about the things that could be improved. Look for the code duplication, read few articles on refactoring and try to apply. First you need to create something, feel the joy of creation and form a foundation for further improvements.
