Hi guys im brand new and not a developer but I need a way for users when they go to my site they can upload there video and there would be a option for them to add there first name and email so when the video is uploaded the database can keep all the data together.
Ideally I want this as easy as possible for the user and this would just go to our youtube channel or any video platform will work.Any advice would be great!
Please provide more information like what platform are you using ?.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
The simple way to achieve with web technologies like (Php,node,jave) is maintain the basic user information into the sessions, and whenever it's necessary use this information.
You need to get some knowledge about the system you are using. You particularly need:
access to the server
to know the server type
access to the database
to know the database type
where the relevant files are
After you have gathered all these information, you at least know what you do not know. The next step is to gather information about how you can implement the feature you need. Look at it like at a puzzle with many small pieces. If you are patient-enough, at the end you will resolve the puzzle.

So I am currently working on this project and I am confused on how to tackle this issue I am having.
I am creating this website that will go behind the scenes and input the data the user is providing us with and checking to see availability on various websites. I am confused on how the logistics of this would work. Would it make more sense to use API's rather than create maybe a bot (I don't even know if this would work) or even if there was a way to code it in myself.
A similar platform to what the general idea behind what operations would be used is vaccines.gov where the system will display the availability of vaccines nearby (a value inputted by user is zipcode). I just need to be pushed in a general direction as I am unsure how to approach this.
Thank you!
I have a site that I'm looking to transfer to Volusion. Importing tabled content into Volusion's a breeze, it's getting it tabled that's an issue. The old site has no real ability to export, nor do I know how to get at it's database. I'm thinking there must be some sort of script I can write to take the content from the frontend and download it in some sort of list that I can put into a CSV, and put into Volusion.

Any suggestions? I'm hoping to get in the image directory as well and download all them for upload to the new site.
You are going to need at the very least a file with product code, product name, weight and price.
Looking at the URL you provided it doesn't appear that the products their follow any type of orderly structure where you can target the images folder or products based on a known piece of information like a products code. Unless the back-end has some type of product export function you may have no choice but to recreate it from scratch.
I don't know if you solved this yet or not, but I would suggest scraping the data providing you have the information on the old site currently. This can be done easily using vbscript and excel, or if you aren't very savvy at coding you could look at a piece of software called mozenda. There are a whole variety of methods that can be used to scrape data, all of them pretty easy to learn with a bit of research. Basically you write a script that will crawl your dom and extract the data (to xml works best in my experience)
Hope this helps.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm pretty new to this, so forgive the newbyness.
I want to creat an auto response email based on what product my customer shows interest in. For example, if I fill out a form on a car dealership website for their Internet Pricing...I get an email telling me what that price is.
Right now when a customer fills out a form I receive an email as administrator that tells me the make, model and stock number.
I'm thinking I want to build a program that can recognize that stock number, affiliate it with a vehicle in a database along with the Internet price and return that value via an Email to the customer.
What direction should I go? Where should I start? Like I said I'm pretty new at this. I would maybe even be willing to hire this out if it's too overwhelming. Thank for the help!
Without any form of disrespect or anything - it probably is a wise idea to hire someone :)
you need to learn about databases, about using for example ASP.NET to develop the website, HTML/CSS for the layout of the website. you need to purchase products like Visual Studio which contains everything you need to start developing your idea/website and also the database engine like SQL Server. It really depends on what your current environment is like (i.e what database engine you are using) and what platform you want to use to develop your idea. This is pretty simple stuff from what you are describing to do but it sounds like you don't know how to start to develop simple code/software.... that's all. I am sure you can do it but requires a lot of training/teaching for you to "get there" :)
I am currently designing a reviews site for video games similar to gamespot am wondering where and if there is an online database that contains information such as name, publisher, release date etc with an API. I dont really want to have to enter each title manually or let users enter the title manually.
Where do these large sites get information like this? I wouldn't think it would be manually. I know for movies IMDB exists.
How would I go about adding it to my database?
Thanks
May I point you to web scraping?
Be sure to read the section legal issues and on well-behaved bots.
There's always Amazon and their product advertising API. Some older, but interesting code snippets can be found on this page.
If you know Perl, there is an amzing module called WWW::Mechanize
Pretty much you can write a script to get to any website and grab any data you need.
So for example you can go to www.gamespot.com, get list like the one below and put them in your database.
http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?platform=1029&mode=all&sort=views&dlx_type=all&sortdir=asc&official=all&tag=games%3Bfooter%3Bmore
Hey guys, I have a client who wants their front site to have a tracker on disaster weather like hurricanes when they occur. Essentially they want a way to manage this without getting a developer to do it everytime a new storm develops.
I know there are plenty of ways to get a weather updates on website when you have a set location.. thats easy. Its different when you dont know the storms in advance! Location would be different every time.
Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?
I would probably monitor an RSS feed.
TWC has some nice RSS feeds setup that look like they will facilitate your needs: http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/
The National Hurricane Center also has RSS feeds: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrss.shtml
