Introduction to Rocket Russian

The people from Rocket say that if you know English you can learn Latin Origin languages in 600 hours of training. If you want to learn Greek, Arabic, Russian you need to double time.  The lesson builds sentences by the knowledge of the words. Other Russian lessons do not include Grammar, Rocket has Grammar and Culture Lessons. 

My opinion for Rocket

I just want to say that for me it has the best series of Russian Lessons. I live in Russia and it is for me difficult to find in these price lessons.  If you want to learn a new language it is a good choice. The GUI of Rocketons Russian is good for repetitions of reading and also has voice recognition. With a lot of practice, you can learn to pronounce well, to read, and to write.

And you can read for all your life, like Udemy, you do not pay for 6 months (you can do it), but is an alternative for all your life.

So Go for Rocket.

Other schools are not like Rocket Russian - the role of native language 

There are other schools to learn Russian, usually, they do not have Grammar and a lot of Rocket students have started from a different method and then hade completed the training of Rocket Russian. If you want you can do it. People wit native Arabic or Chinese or Japanise language are learning very fast, people with Latin origin language are learning slower.

I am not affiliated by any means with the Rocket, I am just a student, but I made this article because they support Cambodia.

P.S. Rocket Languages recently started supporting Ang Chhum Primary School in Cambodia. A percentage of every Rocket Languages sale goes to helping the teachers and children.

CodeIgniter is a PHP framework, it is good for a small team of programmers (1-2) and you can write very fast applications. Another popular framework is Laravel. There is a special way/pattern to write code the MVC.  This article explains the implementation of MVC in CodeIgniter. CodeIgniter is used a lot in countries like India, Indonesia, and this area. In the western world is used for educational projects. The implementation of MVC in CodeIgniter is easy and good for a newbie to understand.

What is CodeIgniter MVC?

It is a pattern that we use in order to manipulate data in some languages like Java, Javascript, PHP e.t.c and it used from some PHP Frameworks like Codeigniter, Laravel e.t.c. MVC it separates the logic layer from the presentation layer.

In  CodeIgniter MVC we have three basic classes:

a) Controller (who is doing the management)

b) View (who presents the data)

c) Model (who speaks with the database, in our case MySQL, and fetches the info).

How MVC works:

The browser speaks with the controller.

Then the Controller looks at the Cache if the info exists. If YES controller uses the View to present it ( HTML + CSS + Bootstrap +JS)

If info does not exist, then Controller speaks with Model, Model with Database and returns the info to Controller, the Controller uses the View to present the info to Browser and updates the cache.

 In CodeIgniter, we also use Helpers, Libraries, and all the staff that this framework has. For example, we first must load the Database in order to use it with the specific command or by editing the autoload script.

Abstract to programming Languages

There are a lot of types of languages

At the very beginning of my studies, we were writing assembly language which is a low-level language. (around 1983)

We were using COBOL, which is a human-like programming language, after the appearance of Databases, like Oracle, we were able to write in PRO*COBOL. The last speak with databases.

We have a language with Compiler, he creates assembly from the language. For example from C human writer source, we create an assembly file, this file is our binary program.

We have a language with Interpreter, he is the layer that makes the source, human-written code, to communicate with the computer. Languages with an interpreter are Java, PHP, e.tc. 

We have 4th generation languages, that are with Forms & Reports GUI and sit on the top of o Database like Oracle.

After the explosion of WEB, we have languages, frameworks and CMS's

• Introduction
• At Udemy has a course about Gimp 2.8, it is FREE and includes (see the above image):
• I want to say that I am not affiliated with Udemy or the author.

Introduction

In 2009 I bought PhotoShop from an Internet e-shop. At that time I was in Greece. Then I learned that if someone brings PS from the US, or buys from the internet is not legal and he is going to pay a penalty. One PhotoGrapher had bought PS  from America, when they found him he paid a lot.  This is very bad you buy, you pay a penalty and you can not use it (PS). So I decided to learn an alternative software and this is GIMP.

As you know that a FREE alternative to PhotoShop is Gimp and Save For Web is a plugin of GIMP.  Gimp has many plugins, Themes, and other staff. A way to optimize an image in order for our site to be fast is to install the Save For Web Plugin and use it. This Lessons of Udemy offers all FREE.
