I know the question was asked before but I'm still not sure.
I'm comfortable with php, mysql, jquery, html, css, etc.
Recently someone propose a collaboration where I help him to build a website where people search for jobs(in my country). He wants the website to offer possibility for uploading video. He doesn't really know but he want the site to be build on a platform, because he says its faster.
What do you think?
I can do it from scratch, but is he right? What do you suggest?
Also the part with the video I'm not really sure in what direction to go? What to use when you want to give a user possibility to upload a video(besides something like youtube)?
Thank you!
PHPmotion Media Sharing CMS aka PHPmotion is one of the most famous scripts to create a "youtube clone" site and it's free.
There are other options, check The Top 5 Free YouTube Clone Scripts article, it might help you choose the best one for you.
The fastest way is the way you feel most comfortable with.
Uploading video is not something as easy as it looks. There are a lot of things beyond the "upload". For example, video files are big. So you have to have a huge distributed storage system to store them. That alone would be quite a big task if you don't already have a "platform" that already does it for you.
So my suggestion is, talk him out of the video feature, then do the rest with your own way. : )

I've been wanting to make a website but I wanted to code it myself without using one of those website makers. Are there any ways of doing this? I would also like to publish it as well. Thanks.
1.Write your code and save it.
2.Purchase a domain and host it with ehost or something like that.
3.Upload your file. That's it.
[ehost provide hosting with free domain]
This is not technically an appropriate question for SO. However, you need to learn the basics of HTML. Start at W3 Schools. http://www.w3schools.com
You mentioned that you already know HTML. If you are just making static content, that will suffice. I strongly recommend learning CSS. While it is not technically necessary, it will make your life much easier. When you want to publish it, you will have to pay for a domain and a hosting service. Google Domains can help you with this.

This is my first time asking a question here on stackoverflow.
I'd like to know if anyone (more experienced in web design than me, but that's an easy one!) can help me out with a couple tips on how to make this website faster to load and navigate:
www.treasure-diggers.com
I know the HD video banner is the first thing that comes to mind, but that was an explicit request from the client (no Low-Definition render or Youtube player).
Aside from that, it's just a wordpress page with a dozen of medium-sized images, and yet it takes quite a while to load on low connection speeds.
Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!
Look, I've checked your website in website speed test service (GTmetrix) and here you can check the result yourself.
There are some advices, for example, you can minify CSS and JS files and you can specify image dimensions for small images, like social icons, for example. try to resize big images yourself, not with the help of website. After that check the result in GTmetrix, your website speed will be improved =)

I have just scratched the surface in the world of programming, and I need to know where to begin. I work for a Web-page writing articles, and I face a raise if I learn to format the article myself. I want to learn how to format, and also how to code. Is there anywhere in particular where I should begin my journey to programming things such as web-applications?
The following are just a hint. This journey is quite long and after a basic level, you have a multitude of options...
First of all: learn HTML. There's nothing to do if you cannot understand the content you're creating.
Learn CSS - this will help you to achieve the formatting in the right way and will make you understand how web pages are styled. That's where the fun begins, with knowing some CSS you will be able to make a web site look good.
Get a decent code editor for working, prototyping. If you really want to understand what's going on, then prefer non-WYSIWYG editors (you will see what I mean). The more decent you can get the better - this will help you in your daily work, better to not choose one which is irritating for you. (Personally I use PhpStorm which is a really good, professional tool. It might be too advanced for beginners.)
All web pages nowadays are created dynamically, for example via PHP. Learning to code in PHP will make you busy for quite a bit of time, so it would be the best to get a good book about it. (This will also start you up learning about databases, where the actual information is stored.) In my opinion, this is where the real part of web programming begins.
After writing some basic stuff with PHP, get familiar with different frameworks/CMSs just to know how we deal with big, real sites. (WordPress is great for starting and it's advanced enough to use it on a real site.) There's no point in reinventing the wheel, so always try to have a look whether others have done what you would like to do before. There's always a toolkit for the common tasks.

I'm developing a site and I want it to have a very simple blog page. What are the best options to add in a blog to the site? blogger/wordpress seem like overkill, as I just want to be able to do simple posts and allow people to comment, are there any recommened blog scripts that I could use? I don't mind it being commercial as long as there's no branding on it. The site is being developed in Xhtml, Css, Jquery, Php, mysql.
thanks for any help.
Personally I would use Wordpress, I know it may seem to have over-bloat for your needs, but you never know when your needs change/expand so having a good base system for this is a good place to be.
You can strip out and hide a lot of Wordpress functionality through simple extensions if you wish the UI to be more simple. It's not the worlds #1 blogging software for no reason ;)
A great alternative to wordpress is b2evo. Its free, open source and easy to set up and use.

Wonderfl is a library of flash effects. Their system is entirely built upon the concept that any code can be viewed and edited in a browser, and any code can be 'forked' and modified further. Since the entire system is so 'open-source' (see their legal page), can I use one of these effects in my projects? even for commercial usage such as a web app or website?
I'm not a lawyer, but the way I understand sections 5 and 6 of the Terms of Use page, anyone singing up with Wonderfl pretty much lets go of all copyrights for anything he/she submits to the site. I would think that's a go-ahead.
edit:
Having read their licensing FAQ as well: It's your responsibility to find out the licensing terms for any of the code you want to use. Moreover, if you fork the code, you automatically accept the same license terms for your own forked piece of code. Each piece of code might be distributed under a different license, so you should always make sure. If you can contact the author directly, it might be a good idea to just ask.
P.S. Just in case there is any misunderstanding: Wonderfl is not just a library of effects. It is a community site much like this one, where ActionScript programmers may create programs, show and distribute them to others and ask for advice. This has other implications if, for example, you want advice on a project you are working on for your company - you should always be very certain you are actually allowed to share any code you post on the internet.
I suggest you read their FAQ on licensing: http://wonderfl.net/help#help_license
